Hey everyone, first post. 65 year old male here. My name is Mike.
So I have all of the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.
It started with numbness in my toes and slowly worked its way through my feet. Fast forward 6 months. Feet are numb. My arches hurt, brutal burning legs, pain and and twitching in calves and thighs. My GP has me on Gabipentin. I take 1400 mgs right now. Gabipentin has worked well as far as eliminating alot of the pain. At least now I can sleep though the night. I will be undergoing testing in the coming months. I'm very anxious and depressed.

My question to anyone who actually knows the answer.


(Does anyone know what the life expectancy is of someone with severe PN. )

Also blood test have ruled out diabetes. I haven't had a drink in 30 years. Never had a issue with alcohol.

Really happy to have found this forum. I hope to give and get support to others with this horrendous condition.

Thanks for reading this.

Mike
