Living with Neuropathy - Welcome to the group
Neuropathy | Last Active: 1 hour ago | Replies (6153)Comment receiving replies
Hi, I'm new to this group. My name is Michele and I have suffered with Neuropathy issues for about 4 years now. My left hand has contractures and muscle wasting and the doctors I have been to in the Detroit, MI area can not figure out what is causing it. So here I am, a patient at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, Hoping that I find my "Dr. House". It has been a long and tiring journey from doctor to doctor, test after test, being given diagnosis after diagnosis only to be eventually told that no, I really didn't have those issues or diseases.

Welcome, Michele @michelewithonel - I like the one last. I always have to tell people no E in my last name. I wish I lived closer to Mayo or even a great little hospital. But, alas, I like where I live, in the middle of nowhere. I have trust in the excellence of the Mayo staff to give you a correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

@michelewithonel - I ALMOST always proofread what I write. I should figure out how to turn off auto spell. What I wrote was "I like the one l". My phone, thinking that it knows better than I what I'm thinking, posted "last" instead of "l", which is a lower case L.
Talking to myself - proofread everything!
And that's why they are called smartphones. Lol

@jimhd, gailfaith here. YOU are so right. Not only smart phones do that but so do computers. The only good thing about them is usually they at least catch spelling errors, but it depends on YOU to make sure YOU know what you want to say! I have several friends that not only write emails cryptically, but she doesn't proof what she writes either. So half of her emails are worthless. PLEASE PEOPLE.....PROOF WHAT YOU WRITE BEFORE YOU HIT THE SEND BUTTON !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Michele (@michelewithonel), Welcome to Connect. We are happy you found us and hoping you are able to find an answer while at the Rochester Mayo Clinic. Do they have more tests scheduled for you?
