Axonal peripheral neuropathy: Finally, a diagnosis!

Good morning, John

Thanks for getting back to me. No, my neurologist did not suggest any at-home practices. What he has done, though, is refer me to another neurologist for a second opinion. (I was surprised that my doctor suggested a second opinion, rather than I, the patient, making the request.) At the moment I'm waiting for that referral to go through so that I can make an appointment.

There's a wonderful irony at play here: the first time I had asked my primary if I might meet a neurologist, I was sent to meet with a doctor at the local hospital (less than a mile from home), which led (long story short) to me seeing a string of specialists with offices all over the map; this most recent––the fellow who's at last given me a diagnosis––has now referred me back the very hospital where all this began. My consolation? With gas prices so high, at least now I'll be saving money!

@ray666 ... Your story is quite similar to mine, especially seeing multiple specialists and finally getting a solid diagnosis. Honestly, I have yet to he diagnosed with Axonal Neuropathy by a neurologist, but I do believe that will be the "final diagnosis" if they ever choose to name it. I've read a good deal about it and it describes my symptoms too well. Anyway... onward and upward with Gabapentin and PT helping me through. Crazy disease!! All the best to you...
