I was diagnosed with idiopathic P.N. a number of years ago. I have always wondered if the cause could be from deer tick bites. Tests were done, and came back negative. I still wonder. I have lost feeling in my feet, legs and hands. Now my knees and knuckles are stiff as well. Does anyone have experience with this. There is a clinic that looks into diseases spread by ticks located near me, but I'm wondering if it's worth the price? It's not covered by my insurance. Thanks.
