...Hello, :) I have recently been diagnosed with idiopathic bilaterial peripheral neuropathy. I have suffered with this pain for just over a year. I have...
HI Delana, Welcome to the group, glad you have found us. I totally relate to not at first knowing what this could do to one. I have had this for over 3...
It is hard for people who do not have it to understand. PN pain does not make me limp, or show any signs of pain to others. Pain from most other diseases are...
De Lana, I, too, have "idiopathic" peripheral neuropathy. Would you mind if I asked a couple of questions? Did your doctor(s) explain to your satisfaction what...
 I will be graduating from my training class on November 13. It has been a lot of fun, and I hope it will lead to a job.  My legs have felt pretty good...
I have to disagree with you Tizz. Idiopathic does NOT mean they have given up. It means that there is no
specific cause. The doctor should do some blood test...
Hi, Thank you all for your reply. I truely am thankful. I do have a neurologist and she has done all of the tests nessesary to diagnose my condition. I...
Anita, I expect that my PN will always be called "idiopathic", however you define that term. Doctors have already been telling me that there is "no known...
Hi Tizz, :) I too hope I can find the right mix of meds soon.  My PCP put me on Neurontin and I gained a lot of weight from it. My PCP sent me to a pain...
HI De Lana, I had also gained A TON on a number of meds and felt at the time "it's worth it to have the relieft" a decision I now regret a lot ! I wish so...
Hi Diane, My dr keeps telling me I need to exercise. Do you know of any that do not cause to much pain? De Lana ________________________________ From: Diane...
HI De Lana, I was walking, but because of the neuropathy and being a diabetic, I didn't realize that the callous on left foot had underneath the skin...
Hi, I can't cross my legs either. The burning stabbing pain just shoots up my legs into my hips. :( I will try the stretching because walking is out of...
HI De Lana,, Hon,,,, I have this now for 5 years and I can't say it's gotten worse in the past 3 years, though I will say my tolerance level has gone down. ...
Hi, Thank you for your truthfulness I really am thankful. No, I am not working. I was working at the beginning but found it very difficult. I had not yet...
HI De Lana, Hon, after some time, you may adjust to the pain level and be able to move around some more. I went from being in bed 24/7 and not able to...
It's great to hear a lot of different opinions and remember we all can have different places with the pain, different kinds of pain and different side...
It just means there is no known cause at the present time. With more study, you will hear that word les and less. Â To learn more about Neuropathy go to ...
 TY SO MUCH Rose Terry! It has been driving me NUTS that I have symptoms of neuropathy now through out my entire body. The neurologist could not find an...
De Lana... My opinion is that your neurologist should be treating you. I see mine every
3 months. I have to for him to be able to prescribe the narcotics that...
Congratulations, Diane!! Neuropathy caused by medications is a type that, after it's correctly identified, can be dealt with quite successfully! So, if that's...
Anita, I tried to see my neurologist more but since I am on state medical they would not pay for more appointments when my PCP would give me any meds that...
Hi All, I visited my neurologist today. I have PN in all 4 limbs, 2 pinched nerves-one of which is on my c6/c7 vertebrae, and a paralyzed right hand and...
Trying to catch up on some mails. Seems the symptoms change almost daily for me. My bones appear to hurt in my
feet, legs and hands. So painful to walk...
HI Suzie, I hope you do get to the Dr's and have yourself check for the arthrsis, since that sounds possible. Though my feet do get to hurting badly, and I...
hi!! julianne here, been offline for 2 months. glad to be back finally!! in the mean time have been initially diagnosed with rheumatoid arthitis. so now...
This pain in my hands just started recently. My fingers are so stiff and
sore. So figured that is probably arthritis. I think the pain in my feet is the PN....
