Along with PN, I suffer from severe hypertension which has been difficult to control. I have also had problems with bouts of PVCs for years and some tachycardia. Last year, I had the worse pelvic floor dysfunction ever, which did get better after some physical therapy. I also have arthritis in certain areas.
One thing I continue to suffer from is menopausal symptoms. I have horrible hot flashes day and night, insomnia, mood swings, etc. I really do believe that this hormonal roller coaster is irritating to my PN.
What other medical problems do you suffer in addition to your PN?

I have tinnitus thats developed in 07
I have chronic connective tissue problems that weakens my body to the point it wont structurally support itself - muscles are strong but my liagaments etc are like chewing gum
I have some sort of neurological problem thats affeted my tactile sensation and has gotten worse over 18 yrs my problems started ( im 32 now )
rendering me unable to hold objects without getting terrible anxiety .
( This is esp bad because I used to be artistic , play sport to a pretty high level -so Im very aware of it.
And last - but not least - I have anosmia thats robbed me of my sense of smell apart form the odd few I can still occassionally smell.
Thats about the some of it .
When I got the pn 10 years ago I had terrible gastric problems too just before it , whether its related it or not I dont know but Ive been trying to find out the contents of solution i was injected / treated with at the time.
