@suzylulu, thank you for the kind words! I think one of the real benefits of Mayo Connect is that it brings patients together in a safe place so that they are able to share their story, learn what others are doing and ask questions they may have. I found Connect in March of 2016 while searching for help and local support groups for my peripheral neuropathy. I'm so glad I did too.

Thanks again - keep sharing and asking questions - life is a learning journey! Psst...my motto is to learn at least one new thing a day. Sadly that one new thing is sometimes something I had learned in the past. That's a great thing about being 74...senior discounts and no one expects you to remember everything!

John

hello, am new here. have had neuropathy for many years now. didn't know what it was when a little numbness or some light pain would bother me till one day ibuprofen wouldn't handle it any more. went to medfast and finally a dr there told me I had periferal neuropathy and said should have been diagnosed years ago. prescribed tramadol and have been taking it for 13 years now. 2 years ago had the needle test done and was told didn't have peripheral but had small fiber neuropathy. any one here also have that?
