I have had sensory PN for many years. The doctors have not found a reason that I have it. I am not a diabetic. My father had CIDP and maybe I inherited neuropathy. It has not gotten better. For years it stayed below the ankles, but has now progressed to my legs, hands and arms. I've had carpal tunnel surgery, but four fingers are numb on the right hand and it is starting in my left hand fingers. I'm so confused. I have had stomach discomfort for several months. The gastroenologist has run every test he can, but thinks it has to do with the neuropathy. The scary part was that I had a bowel movement in the night without knowing it. Over the years I have tried many medications that either made my head a sponge, did nothing after awhile, or as with Lyrica, put 15 pounds on me in 6 weeks. Now I try to overlook the pain, burning, feet and finger numbness and not take anything, except at night when I take Ambien CR to help me sleep thru all of this. I also have uncontrolled high blood pressure that they can't find a medicine to bring it down. My general doctor was a holistic MD which tried to help with the natural route. My gastro. doc wants me to take the Desipramine. The neurologist is no help except to run tests. Has anyone had all of this happen to them with neuropathy?
