I too have PN   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #72 of 6200 |
Hi Eileen,

I have had PN for the past two years. After a summer of testings
and finding out NO CAUSE, I did find out what I didn't have.

I'm currently taking 1800 mg Neurontin. Most of my problems have to
do with me feet. They become really uncomfortable when enclosed in
shoes of any type. So basically, when home, I'm barefooted. Seems
like enclosed in shoes makes the bottoms of my feet extremely warm.

As you well know, most miserable times are at night or when you wake
up in the mornings. Thank goodness, I sleep well at night most of
the time.

I am experiencing additional symptoms which I'm not sure what is
causing them. Leg sensations of sticking, stingint, itching, etc..
at times. Also, bladder urges sometimes with mere trickling, a few
times even seepage.

I'm hesitant to go to regular Dr. or the neurologist?????

Any thoughts on this???

I also take Fosamax which now has me in the osteopenia chart.
That's a plus.

Audrey

You are right, it's hard to find a doctor that spends time with you trying to resolve your problems. I had such a rough time getting PN diagnosed. Medication...
