Unhappy New Here

HI!

I had posted my history with neuropathy on my intro, thinking it would post here. I am so tired...I cannot rewrite it all today. (It is on "new member" board.)

I want to see if a moderator can move a copy of that intro over to this forum?

Basically...severe neuroapthy several years ago. Sensory, motor and autonomic (sx. of autonomic). Docs had prescribed plasmapheresis. (I did not do that. I took a nutritional route. I am not recommending people not take their doc's advice. It was a personal decision/choice/chance I'd taken.)

All signs/symptoms of neuropathy had been elimiinated...eventually and no sign could be found by neurologists three year as ago.

Just had a recent "exacerbation!" Hard hitting and rapid advancement. Involved feet/legs and hands/arm, including all of the pain/sensory sensations and weakeness. Both legs became extremely weak over this weekend. Severely so. All has occurred over approximately 4-6 weeks, with the worst occurring over the past 2-4 weeks. Saw neuro 2 weeks ago and things have advanced since then.

Neuro had ordered tests two weeks ago. No tests have been scheduled yet by his office/neuro testing unit. Any follow-up visit with him is awaiting the completion of testing. Yet, I don't think it is wise to allow this to continue to get worse (rapidly) while waiting for "the medical system" to "sort itself out!"

Have contacted neuro. Awaiting response.

Have other conditions autoimmune and/or rheumatological that also cross over into neurological area, as well. Will elaborate on those more soon.

I am very tired. I wish the other post had "landed here!" I will try to write more later on.

Thanks for being here and for letting me in the door!

Hope for all!
