Hi, I hope I didn't make it sound like I thought your PN is psychosomatic
I know that you are suffering miserably from what you've written--I'm just saying when our thoughts turn to the worst possible scenario then it just makes symptoms feel worse and hard to believe it will get better. It's the old "What If?" monster: what if I never get better, what if this or that?
No I have not had a nerve condition test, but I know my symptoms are not all in my head because they started BEFORE I had heard about PN.....I never knew about it until I started having the pins and needles. However, if I had read about it then I would believe that I was making myself feel pain (although not this intense). I-- like you --wish that this was all anxiety based!
