I tried Mayo Rochester as a last resort and they couldn’t help any more than my primary care doctor. 2 weeks there in hotels for testing all at our expense that all had just been done in Michigan. No diagnosis and still in intolerable pain. Now my GI wants me to go to Cleveland Clinic. I am just way to done right now to start with yet another facility that is going to want to redo all testing. When in the heck can I get some or ANY RELIEF! Mayo didn’t even seem to try. So depressing.

I agree that the Cleveland Clinic would likely be a waste of time. For true neuropathy, treatment options are very limited in number and effectiveness. They are doing an extremely poor job in trying to come up with effective therapies. It’s almost as if they have lost interest in the 30,000,000 patients in the U. S. that have neuropathy.
