Sorry to hear about your neuropathy Don. Were you given a cause? I’ve had mine for 9 yrs in April….no specific diagnosis although I am pre diabetes but my neurologist has never pinned it in that. My rate of progression seems to have ramped up. Best wishes to you in the struggle.

@stallen - I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy and I also have been in the pre-diabetic category most of my adult life. What the doctors never mentioned to me was that if you are in the pre-diabetes category you also fit into the Metabolic Syndrome which includes diabetes and has a connection with neuropathy and other neurological conditions. Here's some references if you want to learn more about it.
-- The Metabolic Syndrome and Neuropathy: Therapeutic Challenges and Opportunities: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3881591/
-- Metabolic syndrome as a risk factor for neurological disorders
