Hello @debbo66, Welcome to Connect. I'm glad to see that you have already connected with @esthersue. I also have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy with no pain, just numbness and some tingling. I shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/. You mentioned your symptoms of a crawling sensation over your whole body especially the feet. I thought you might like to scan through comments from other members who have mentioned similar symptoms. Here's a search of Connect using "crawling sensation +neuropathy" that shows the member comments and more - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/.

How long ago were you diagnosed with neuropathy?

@debbo66
Hello, no, I only have nerve pain and tingling in my legs. From reading the Mayo Clinic blog, I can see that neuropathy can be a very confusing condition. There are numerous causes, symptoms, and therapies. From the best of my understanding, the light therapies are all very different. The only Healthcare professionals that offer this are chiropractors and functional medicine clinics; at least in my experience. From reading this blog, it seems that sometimes the light therapies help (but do not cure) and sometimes they don't. I have been on a trial and error journey for a long time. I'm not sure what kind of red light therapy you are using, but maybe a professional opinion would help? My Anodyne system uses thermal light energy and I had a referral from a chiropractor for it (after going for appointments for 3 months). I bought my home cold laser 5 years ago for $4000 after using a similar system at a chiropractor's office. I am assuming that you've been to a neurologist and have had all the available tests for causes for your neuropathy. I hope that your red light system works!
