Hello @as143, Welcome to Connect. I see from your earlier post you mentioned your neuropathy was due to the COVID vaccine. I know that the condition has a major impact on all of us no matter what the cause, it's just difficult to live with at times and we just want it to go away. I'm not sure if you have done any research on ways to treat or deal with the symptoms but I thought I would share some information that may help you learn what's available.

Have your doctors offered any treatments or suggestions to help with your symptoms?

Hi. Thank you for this info. I do research but find it overwhelming at times. I do not have pain at least thus far but I did try Lyrica for a while but it did nothing. I requested physical therapy to help with muscle weakness and gait issues which helped a great deal. Was sure I was going to be in a wheelchair the rate I was going. Now I use a cane on my weaker days and often use it more for security than actual support.
Am quite disappointed in my neurologist though she did thorough testing all that was discovered was MGUS which is being monitored and I am told by oncologist that it is NOT the cause of my neuropathy though neurologist said it could be. Searching now for a specialist in Boston because I would like more focused answers to my questions and I don’t feel I am getting anywhere near that causing me a great deal of confusion. I do realize answers are difficult but it is hot or miss with my time-limited, barely-available neurologist. Basically I’ve been told it’s autoimmune, no help for it, it will get worse have a good day. Not satisfied with that!
I appreciate the info you recommended and will definitely check it out.
