Healthgirl, what type of PN do you have, or what is the cause of yours? Or is it idiopathic?

MrsD, fascinating and happy that you experienced such improvement upon getting thyroid treatment. How much of your PN do you think was/is due to hypothyroidism? I recently tested thyroid and it showed elevated reverse T3, and slightly high TSH. I think I'm going to try increasing my selenium intake to 200mcg from 100mcg as there is some research demonstrating a benefit to thyroid from supplementing selenium at that level. I'm already taking iodine for thyroid function. But thyroid is something I should pursue further.

Today the loss of sensation has progressed into my knees! The rate of progression is absolutely bafflingly rapid.
