Diagnosed 3 days ago with peripheral polyneuropathy after EMG and nerve conduction. Several months of tingling and aching in feet and calves. Also, soles of feet feeling hot. It's come on quickly...I was totally healthy, no diabetes or any significant health issues. I'm still trying to figure out why and how. Meeting with my dr next week to further discuss findings and path forward. It's been devastating news for me and I already feel limitations because of pain. Hope to find some hope and peace in your group. Thank you

Welcome @gotosarah, I'm glad you found Connect. You are definitely not alone and hopefully you can find some answers and learn from others experiences. I have idiopathic small fiber PN that developed gradually over 20+ years so I can imagine how you must feel to have all of this change over a short period of time. There is another discussion where you can meet others discussing polyneuropathy and learn what they have shared.

Another site that you might want to bookmark for learning more about neuropathy and things you can do to help yourself is the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Can you give us an update after you meet with your doctor next week?
