I understand your frustration and confusion. I was diagnosed with idiopathic PN about three years ago. I came to this site and met these wonderful people. I took their advice on supplements, diet, and stress.
I have gone from using two canes to get around, to walking two miles a day. My legs are still weak, and I am definitely not the person I used to be, however, I am much better than I was when I was in the worst of my PN.
Stress is a big big factor. I turned my stress into energy to try to find a way to make myself better. I understand the doctors are "trained" in their specialties, however, these people here live with this every day of their lives. They know what works and what doesn't!
I have gone from unable to work, unable to even walk to the bathroom... to now working, (never again able to wear high heel shoes), and living alone.
I wish you the best, and hope that your New Years Resolution is that you take control of this disease and learn to manage it. Don't let it manage you!
