I feel like I need to use the bathroom a LOT. Never mind if I just had a normal BM, my system tells me to go again. It is so bad I now take my laptop with me.
This caught my attention. Have you ever been tested for celiac/gluten intolerance. This is an intolerance to wheat, rye, barley, and often times oats. Many gluten intolerant people also have neuropic symptoms. Gluten is poison to those of us with this intolerance. I also have PN, when I went gluten free, I slowed the progression tremendously. Many of those who go gluten free, in time find they no longer have nerve problems. Often times gluten will cause the random symptoms. Also, many celiac/gluten intolerant, the only symptom they have is the PN.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
