I was just diagnosed with PN on Friday the 7th of April at Mayo Clinic. My legs and face are quite numb. I live in Owatonna, Minnesota. Any suggestions for a good neurologist in my area? Any suggestions of where do I go from here? Thank you in advance.

Hi Pat, I glad to see that you saw my response in the other discussion where you posted. I also was diagnosed at Rochester Mayo (idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy) but since I only have numbness there was nothing that my neurologist could offer for treatment. That's what brought me on my journey to Connect. I shared my story in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/. You will notice we moved your post to an existing discussion which mentions face and legs numbness here:

--- Tingling/numbness in face, arms and legs. Walk isn't normal: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/tinglingnumbness-in-face-arms-and-legs-walk-isnt-normal/.

There are a lot of us with numbness only symptoms. There is also another discussion on numbness symptoms here - Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/neuropathy-numbness-only-no-pain.

The one suggestion I could make that did help me was to learn as much as you can about your condition and what treatments may be available. Sometimes a specific type of neuropathy may have different treatments that might help.

Did you get a specific diagnosis for your neuropathy?
