That's the exact same question I posed to my neurologist when he told me "idiopathic PN" 4 years ago. The answer then and now is..... no one knows. What we do know is that symptoms seem to be linked to a vitamin deficiency and for me it's B-12.

So try and figure out what vitamin helps calm down the symptoms(they most likely will not go away) and stick with them daily. Then, go out and enjoy life....it's already short enough as it is.

Many here have it much worse that you or I and they just deal with it. We just have to play out the hand we have been dealt. The mind will block out much of the symptoms daily unless you stop doing whatever you are doing and think about them.

I'm 60, and I'll be damned if I will make myself miserable over something that really does not stop me from doing anything I want.....adapt and overcome.
