Your welcome, yes it was years to get the correct diagnosis and many, many doctors, I had many test redone 3 or 4 times, everything in my body was MRI looking for the answer. Then finally a real diagnosis non-length small fiber Neuropathy. Had my second skin biopsy with John Hopkins gave me what I was looking for. I have found out many people have gone thru what I have, I thought I was alone and a bit crazy. With that said, the treatment is the same. Idiopathic I have tried acupuncture and massage, didn't do much for me. Could for you even for a few hours. The night time is the worst, I think that is because the body is at rest. I don't really have much numbness, well at least I can tell.... LOL Have a good day, stay positive and move forward.

I elevate my feet several times a day and change positions constantly. Cleaning my house is PT… I stretch a lot and walk on different parts of my feet all day. But yes sleeping (even napping) are difficult.

@bumper123 Hello and welcome. I'm Rachel, it's nice to meet you. I like your identifying flower photo!
Thanks for joining the conversation and sharing your health journey. It's fair to say you felt a bit crazy...me too, and many others who strive for a diagnosis, let alone the correct diagnosis.
I did feel sad when you said "you feel deflated at times" because I know that feeling and empathize. On the flip side, I commend you for your positive approach and encouragement of others despite your struggles.
What would you say is the main reason you came to Connect? After having failed treatments, it appears you're at the stage of trying to find acceptance while searching for a pain management plan. Am I close?
