Hi, first let me say that I am very sorry you have this awful, and progressive sounding illness.
Just curious, how did you come to know that neuropathy is what you have? I'm curious because you are a little unusual from most of the people with neuropathy that I have read about. Your symptoms of muscle cramping all over your body as you have described is one unusual (to me) thing. Another is the way it manifests periodically, being there for some period of weeks and then being gone for a period of time. Not saying it IS unique, just saying it's unique from my own limited exposure to symptoms I have heard people describe of their particular cases of PN. So were you clinically diagnosed as having neuropathy? Could it possibly be something else?
Just wondering about this. Thanks much, Hank
@campberj, I've tried a TENS unit - Zopec DT-1200 for about 6 weeks but it didn't help my numbness/neuropathy. I haven't heard of any successful stem cell treatment for neuropathy but there are a lot of places claiming that it works. Here are some discussions on both of the treatments.
