Welcome @jessz, Thanks for sharing your story. It can be frustrating to say the least when you are struggling to get a diagnosis. Neuropathy can have so many causes and . I'm happy to see that you can relate to @kyc117 and the story she shared. Hopefully your doctors can rule out neuropathy and figure out a treatment plan that helps.
It sounds like you have been doing your research. It is always helpful to learn more about your condition, if for nothing else it can help ask better questions of your doctors. Here are a few sites you might find helpful:
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/
You mentioned you have an appointment in October with a new neurologist. There is another good site that has some tips on planning your conversation with a doctor - The Patient Revolution: https://patientrevolution.org/visit-tools.
Do you normally take a list of questions along with you to doctor's appointments?
