I've had neuropathy for 20+ years but only bothered getting diagnosed in 2016 because the numbness was progressing some and I was a little worried about it. The neurologist diagnosed me with idiopathic small fiber PN and then basically told me just to call if it becomes worse since they can't do much for the numbness. That's when I started searching for things that help and found Connect.

I have had some running issues with constipation but not sure it's related to my neuropathy. There are a couple of discussions that could be helpful if you think you might have autonomic neuropathy.
