Hi Mindy and welcome
the first few posts by new members are pre-moderated(visible only to mods till approved) to avoid influx of spammers and other yucky stuff so it sometimes takes a little while for your first few posts to show. Once you are an active member here and posting remains within our guidelines, your posts will show immediately to the forums
I merged your two threads into one for clarity
here is the link to our Peripheral Neuropathy forum at NeuroTalk. Members there may be able to shed some light on your condition
