Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Apr 25 1:31pm | Replies (2916)Comment receiving replies
Hi, I am new to this site and have enjoyed reading many of the comments. I have PN in feet and lower legs and hands. This came about very slowly and I only a year ago got diagnosed. I don't have diabetes and was DNA tested to see if it was hereditary (not). I have been seeing a neurologist for about a year but nothing has really stopped it progression. I am lucky in that I have almost no pain just tingling. I am worried about it's progression. Any advise
? Thanks

Your symptoms sound similar to mine but I also have major balance problems. My father and one sister had similar problems so I believe mine is most likely heredity.
Hello Monive~
I've been suffering from PN for over a year now.....hoping it would go away like it came on..but no...it got to point to where I wasn't able to sleep for more than an hour at a time..being awakened in terrible leg pain..numb toes. I just tried taking a supplement called Benfotiamine 150mg. once a day. In two days..TWO DAYS...almost ALL of my symptoms have just gone away! Check this out on google...very interesting indeed! I feel like I've had a miracle healing!
Bless you all....

Welcome @monive, I think we all worry about the progression of our neuropathy condition. There is another discussion you might find helpful since it sounds like you also only have numbness and tingling symptoms.

The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some suggestions on Living Well with neuropathy here that might be helpful - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.
How long have you had the neuropathy symptoms before you went to a neurologist for a diagnosis?
