Welcome @karina1954, Sorry to hear you joined our neuropathy club but I'm glad you found us so that you know you are not alone. I think each of us have had similar thoughts when the symptoms started showing up. It's good to hear you have a doctors appointment at the end of the month. Since you mentioned you have type 1 diabetes, you might want to read through the following discussion to learn what other members have shared.

Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy or do you just have the symptoms?
