Hi Ron,

I have Idiopathic PN and seem to be developing an arthritis of some sort - but not degenerative - more Rheumatoid I think!

So I can't help you specifically, other than to say that many of us are experiencing a multitude of confusing other symptoms to throw into the diagnostic pot.

I hope that you get some pain management satisfaction from your current specialists soon; however I am fast coming to the conclusion that we basically have to drive our own search for optimal treatment and symptom management.

Hard as it may be to believe, Neuros do not seem to have a very good handle on this Neuropathy stuff!
