Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I'VE HAD SYMPTOMS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. HOWEVER, A NEUROLOGIST JUST ORDERED SOME NERVE TESTS AND CONFIRMED THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS! MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IT IS AFFECTING MY BREATHING. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE THAT PROBLEM? THANKS. JOHN

John-My ability to hike and run is diminished by the neuropathy, I believe. I am winded and out of breath after 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Normal breathing while not exercising has not been affected. I hope this helps. Regards, Dave

@juanito Talk with your doctor about how autonomic neuropathy can affect your body.

John @juanito, I think that @steeldove's suggestion that you talk with your doctor about your breathing problem and the possibility of autonomic neuropathy would be a good start. Mayo Clinic has more information here:
