Hi, all! My PN diagnosis wasn't all that long ago. Only last fall, although I've been accommodating my increasingly bothersome balance for the past couple of years. That diagnosis last fall was the result of my one and only EMG test; until then, my doctors had been doing most best-guessing. The doctor last fall was the first to say, "Ray, you definitely have peripheral neuropathy." Until that moment, I had no words to attach to my condition. As far as "magic socks" go, I too wear "magic socks," mine (texturized for stimulation) are by a company called Naboso. Do they help? I think so. Or I'd like to think so. They do feel good, however, that much I do know! LOL

Well, we have that in common Ray. All my doctors could do is shake their head and send me to another doctor, send me for more bloodwork or physical therapy. I switched to a new Neurologist and he did an EMG, at my request, and the needle conduction study. Mystery solved and it only took eight years. Now he wants to send me to Shands (UF Health) in Gainesville FL. Impossible to get an appointment there until September. At this point I really don’t know what more can be done and I really don’t want to have to pay somebody to take me to the doctor 2 1/2 hours away just to hear him say “ well, there’s nothing we can do.” I will keep the appointment and decide later if I’ll cancel.
I will be sure to look up your magic socks and research them.
Thanks for sharing.
