" … he told me there wasn't anything he could do for me … "

I perhaps gave the impression that my podiatrist did litte more than examine my feet. He was quite up to the mark when it came to understanding what PN, and although he wasn't able to prescribe anything that might directly affect my PN, we did talk at length about what properties to look for in shoes is balance is a person's No. 1 symptom.

Onward and … well, onward! 🙂

I had the same experience with a podiatrist--told me to see a neurologist (which I did) The podiatrist still charged me for the visit. I am going back to the neurologist in July. He has already ruled out some autoimmune diseases and gave me the diagnosis "Peripheral Neuropathy." This was back in March. I went for EMG testing as per his instructions and was told there was not much sensory loss. However, I have had muscle loss (and related weight loss). I have some digestive issues and sometimes a rapid heart beat. I saw a cardiologist but he did not detect heart issues. I now believe I have autonomic neuropathy. The only non-waste of time has been physical therapy as it offers some physical and emotional relief. Also, the people on this support line--you help me as well by simply knowing that I am not alone on this merry go round.
