Tingling in arms and legs - will this get worse? Can I still function?

John,
I'm hoping for answers too, I'm flustered and disappointed but I'm stubborn and can't give up on behalf of my family. But it's depressing. I am happy to be able to share my experiences and learn from others experiences as well. I am nervous for the future granted I'm in my 30's and it's progression. Yet I'm greatful that I still have some abilities to care for my family. Doing my little girls hair before school is one of the simplest yet biggest drlepressions as their mother with numb, tingling hands that literally ache, throb and shake.
Thank you
Candice

Hi, @candicegaona381 - I wanted to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sounds like you are not giving up on solutions to the idiopathic neuropathy you've been diagnosed with. I can imagine how it might feel depressing, though, to have numb and tingling hands and not find an answer that worked well for you.

I also wanted to invite @marinelastef @sinjin @sdemaria @arcticmark and @artscaping to return to this discussion and see what thoughts they may have, especially for non-medication options.

Speaking of medication, however, @candicegaona381, did either of your doctors have any options other than the gabapentin that might not make you tired?
