@fala, That seems to be the question a lot of people have asked or have thought about once they are diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Just thinking out loud here... I'm certainly not an expert but my thoughts are maybe, maybe not, could be, I don't think so, what else could it be -- it's confusing and something that you have to work with your medical care team to figure out.
In the past when I've had different symptoms, I don't think about them as being part of my PN. They might be but my main concern is to get relief for the symptoms, PN or not. I'm hoping you find some relief for your pain soon.

Well, John. You have given me the feedback I needed. That makes sense!
Thanks for your thoughtful response. I hesitated complaining about so many different ailments, but you understood and apparently it is not uncommon. When you said, " I don't think about them as being part of my PN. they might be, but my main concern is to get relief for the symptoms, PN or not." That is what I am going to focus on from now on...pain relief, no matter the cause. I am going to stop trying to figuring out if it is PN or not. It gives me an odd sense of relief to feel I don't have to figure it out! Your understanding and sympathetic response (to so many of us), is very helpful! We are all here for a reason, and you are always there to help. I appreciate you, and thank you.
