I'm almost five years into idiopathic, full body, neuropathy. My feet and lower legs bear the brunt of it, but I have symptoms all over. I have all kinds of weird sensations in my feet and legs. Sometimes it feels like my legs are wrapped in cellophane. Virtually all the time, it feels like my socks are bunched up under my toes.

I've had every test under the sun, and nothing showed up as a potential cause. My neuro just did a nerve conduction and EMG on my legs to make sure there was no sign of large nerve/motor involvement, and there's nothing. So five years of this crap, and it's all still just sensory.

Try to calm down and not freak out...it'll make things 1000x worse. It's not a bad thing to want to find a cause, and I still try, but don't let it consume you, and certainly don't allow it take the joy out of your life.
