I should have explained further:
My idiopathic neuropathy is described as truncal neuropathy. Meaning it only manifests in the trunk of my body. The few documented cases of this type have only lasted from 8 - 20 months and are related to diabetes, which I don't have. My pain is only in the front side of my body from my chest to waist but recently has been creeping down the front of my upper legs.
If you google truncal neuropathy without diabetes you will see how little is known about it.
This why I have hope it may someday just disappear...
