Thank you for your reply. I apparently did not describe things very well. My Trigeminal Neurolgia is not worse. The neuropathy in my feet since last fall has progressed to being in my legs and arms, and has actually happened in my chest and jaw upon waking in the morning

Sorry, I thought the Trigeminal Neuralgia may have progressed and was causing the new symptoms but I think I misunderstood part of your description. There are several types of Neuralgia and what you describe sounds similar to Peripheral neuralgia which is similar to peripheral neuropathy -- What to know about neuralgia: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325331

You mentioned being denied an appointment with a neurologist and now you are worried about telling how your symptoms have progressed. One thing that might help is to plan the conversation for an appointment with your doctor and possibly take someone with you to the appointment that can support and help you remember the questions you want to ask. One site that has some really good information that will help you with this is The Patient Revolution -- https://patientrevolution.org/visit-tools

Have you thought about seeking help at a teaching hospital or major health facility like Mayo Clinic?
