I have many of the same symptoms as you describe. After a year of medical study from three different fields of Dr.s I have been diagnosed with: Idiopathic progressive polyneuropathy. That being said to me it means that they don't know how I got it or what if anything to do but treat symptoms with drugs. My drugs of choice are gabapentin 1200mg, and low dose tramadol 1/2 of a 50 mg in the afternoon. I have spot pain on my legs, buttocks and arms. I use two other products for those. magnalife nerve relief roll-on otc. And a 5% lidocaine cream ( Its a hemorrhoidal relief product). I have not tried the lidocaine patches yet. I also dissolve 1/3 of a zolpidem as I go to bed under my tongue. Works wonders for my sleep. Stay away from the ads for PN. cures. Some others get some relief from a few creams of herbal stuff so I read. I am working with a homeopathy acquaintance with a few of his concoctions. Exercise if you can and work on balance by standing on one foot anytime you think of it. I have a stationary bike that is good for leg work. Share anything that works for you to us please.
