I badly need more information. The local neurologist whom I have been seeing did a test to establish that I had neuropathy in my toes two years ago, then jumped to the conclusion that the cause was probably exposure to pesticides as a result of my career as a horticulturist. I did have considerable exposure when I was starting out almost 50 years ago, but soon became more careful, and have had minimal exposure in recent years. Still, I thought this could be the cause and don't have other conditions such as diabetes or anything else that would explain the neuropathy. I don't smoke and have been a moderate drinker (a glass of wine in the evening with my wife, and recently I stopped that). Anyway, I wasn't particularly worried as I know several men my age with neuropathy in their feet for whom it is no big deal. When my condition got much worse this summer, the neurologist took a biopsy, but says that didn't provide any clues to the underlying cause. He has moved at a glacial pace, and doesn't seem to care much. Last time I spoke to him, he referred to my "discomfort." In fact, this threatens to disable me, it's not a pebble in my shoe or a mosquito bite.. This morning I got in touch with a neuromuscular clinic at Yale University Health that specializes in the treatment of neuropathy. The receptionist there said I should hear in 48-72 hours about making an appointment to meet with their doctors. I'm hoping they will be more responsive and aggressive in treating my condition. The combination of declining health while the doctor stalled has been harrowing.
