I have varying symptoms daily from the neck down. They change throughout the day. I am still able to go about my normal routine, but the worry about progression is all-consuming. My symptoms are very uncomfortable but not necessarily painful. I have a desk job, but try to move about as much as I can. I force myself to get on the treadmill or walk briskly outdoors for 30-60 minutes 5-6 days per week. I have no loss of strength, which is good. I am not on any medication yet; just B-12, Vitamin D, and magnesium supplements. I tried venlafaxine and did not have a good experience. I am seeing a new neurologist at the end of March who specializes in neuropathy. If I get any new insight, I will share. Take good care and keep me posted.

My Neuroligist told me if peripheral neuropathy starts mild it generally stays mild. If starts aggressively, it usually progresses rapidly. Have you heard that.
Do you have any negative reaction to magnesium? I did. Am taking two Pregabalin 25 mg at night and will increase it. Haven't heard of venlafaxine-not many doctors even deal with neuropathy-post what information you get.
I've tried acupuncture-maybe should have continued longer-low light lazer therapy for 14 sessions-nothing has seemed to be effective other than spending alot of $$.
After your visit with the new neurologist, let us know his/her theory for less pain.

I have has all the nerve conductivity and muscle tests with Nero and all are fine so he believes we have eliminated the bad scary things. But like you I have lots of odd symptoms daily that seem to eb and flow depending on day, the most annoying is the tingling everywhere some days and less others…it has decided to affect my cheeks with tingling and burning…I have to take gabapentin at bed time for RLS I believe…another annoying aspect to this…I continue with my PCP and neuro but they seem to be working to a slower pace than myself…would love some answers so I know what I am dealing with and get in a good treatment plan…take care and thanks for responding. It always helps to talk these things with people dealing with similar symptoms
