Hello @christine1975, Sorry to hear you are starting your journey with neuropathy. The one positive thing in your description is that you didn't mention having any pain. I too only have numbness and some tingling in my feet a little up the legs. Mine started in my mid 40s in the toes and now I'm 82 still dealing with it. You mentioned a podiatrist is next. Did a neurologist do any tests to determine you have neuropathy?

After initial visit with Primary Care Clinic (during which I was given a preliminary diagnosis of PN) I was not referred to a neurologist but, instead, I was told to see a podiatrist. Now I’m wondering if I’m to be fitted for shoes, etc. before I even get a firm diagnosis.
