Doctors can be wrong. I had neuropathy over 10 years before they did the EMG:nerve conduction test and biopsy. They diagnosed me with restless leg syndrome but my legs do not move in my sleep my husband looked at the neurologist and told him he needed to listen and go back to college. That was a misdiagnosis. In the mean time it moved into my hands tremors aka motor neuropathy now I don’t feel my hands. I cut myself chopping vegetables cut myself blood everywhere. Most of the time I don’t feel anything below my knees anymore but pins and needles start at two thirty in the morning. It then moved into my bladder well that was embarrassing the first time it happened now I pay attention set my clock every hour whether or not it happens again. Then it moved into my heart. I can’t control my heart rate it beats too fast or too slow I have either high or low blood pressure my normal 120/70. went to. 160/110 for two weeks dropped too 97//60. I kept passing out nothing can be done.
My body temperature no longer regulates itself. I get severely cold it can be 110 in Texas. I am wearing long sleeves and sweater. Some people complain of being extremely hot, did you see a neuromuscular neurologist or a regular neurologist there’s a difference.?Neuromuscular neurologist deals with neuropathy a regular neurologist doesn’t, Neurologist have their own specialties look yours up on the website see what his specialties are. I would look for a neuromuscular neurologist ask to be tested. Tell them all your symptoms pay attention to your body. Your brain regulates body temperature. That being said it would be a neurologist you would be looking for. I live in Dallas Texas. And had to go to Boston to get answers to see a research neurologist. My neurologist kept saying Parkinson’s but Parkinson’s does not run in my family. I went to Boston to discover my tremors come from my motor neuropathy my legs shake to. No brain lesions.
