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

Hello, Conrad (@earlt)
It sounds as though you and I have undergone the same battery of tests. I find it curious, though, that you, too, have swollen feet. I've had similar experiences: doctors examining me for something entirely unrelated to my feet have often asked, in an offhand way, "Have you any idea why your feet are swollen?" Mine, too, swell and then un-swell, depending upon what I've been doing or what sort of shoes I have been wearing. To date, however, no doctor has linked my swollen feet to my neuropathy.

Hello Ray,
I don't understand why the swelling is almost gone when I get out of bed. My G.P. says it's because of gravity. Well duh. He hasn't been much help. I hit the bathroom about 3 times during the night. I get most of it out. I have had an EKG and ultrasound on my heart. It is good. The neurologist says after reviewing my results it's not neuropathy. I have a collapsed L-5 to S1. I'm going to start seeing a chiropractor Monday. He does spinal therapy, decompression and a massager.
My wife is reading an article about symptoms of what Gluten does to the body. It looks like it is causing my symptoms. I do know the more liquid I drink the more they swell.
You would think with all of the modern advancements in medicine someone could figure out what is causing this.
Stay safe friend,
Conrad
