I have written here before about being diagnosed with PN. I had a brain
MRI which revealed no MS or any other brain problem. The nerve
conduction studies of my arms and legs showed that I have a problem
with the "long fibers" not the "short fibers". The doc says that now I
need to have a series of blood tests to see what's what. He said that
the most common cause would be ALCOHOLISM or DIABETES. Since I don't
drink and never have maybe it is DIABETES.
