@megidigo I'm in Wales. Good to hear someone else calling it polyneuropathy. All experts insist on calling it peripheral.
As well as fasciculations in neck and torso, I feel too full after a bowl of soup. I have been getting terrible indigestion and burping constantly. I have halved my portions and am eating more fibre but still find bowel movements very slow. My GP has recently put me on Thiamine and B compound twice daily. I am awaiting blood results.

@fue thank you for your reply. Your bowl of soup comment reminded me that before I had any motor and sensory problems that there was a period where I couldnt finish any meal. I wouldnt be able to finish even half of a burger or a bowl of salad….now its the opposite as I mentioned - do not get full.
I had forgotten about that.
Looking back I think this was showing its signs earlier then I previously thought. Hope you are doing ok, Im really not admittedly. Has your doctor given any helpful advice other than the b compounds or do you have any advice living with this? Are they looking for anything in particular with the blood test.

That neurologist I saw told me not to worry its just neuropathy when he discharged me. Im really scared.
