Idiopathic Polyneuropathy: My endless journey to a near-diagnosis …

Rob39.. I have PN as you described, it was advancing rapidly, my Neurologist reffered me for a full spinal MRI. Apart from severe degineration, pinched nerves, stenosis it also showed a syrinx from T4 to T10 this answered a lot of my upper body pain questions and is possibly the reason for my leg weakness .

Good morning, @rob39
Thank you again for yesterday's message. I'm curious: when you say your PN was advancing rapidly, how rapidly was that? I had gone for years (maybe as much as ten years) with only minor balance difficulties. It has only been in the past one or two years that I've had to make some lifestyle changes, and, as I explained the other day to my neurologist, even now I find myself unable to say if my PN has gotten (or is getting) worse; a more accurate report is to say that it appears to have plateaued at a more troublesome level, with an occasional "bad" day. Will my PN eventually slip from that plateau and descend rapidly? That's my most pressing question.
