Thank you all for your insight and inspiration, much needed! I FINALLY received a diagnosis after a year plus of doctor visits, lab tests, sweat test, electrical shock (as I call it), biopsy and retracing steps and telling my story more than I would have liked. I was given nothing other than,continue the pain management with Gabapentin, walk as much as you can, heat and/or cold therapy, try acupuncture, meditation, analgesics - I'm sure you all know the drill. Walking is really my only form of exercise and sometimes is not the best thing for me at the end of the day. I'm 57 and am in good health other than a back (dealing with that for 20 years) and reaching out to hear and know I'm not alone in this and to get a little push. Admire everyones strength to fight!!!! It's very difficult for people that do not have this gift of PN to understand the strange, random, uncomfortableness that it brings. I think I'm perhaps a mild case and hoping there some light out there! Thanks for sharing and listening!

Hello @jeanquinn63, Welcome to Connect. You are definitely not alone with your neuropathy. You may be interested in reading the neuropathy journey of other members including myself in the following discussion.

You mentioned being diagnosed for neuropathy. Did the neurologist provide a specific diagnosis? Can you share a little more about your symptoms.
