If we were cancer patients there would be hundreds of doctors to specialize in our illness. Why are we here taking solice in our pain with each other. We should reach out to the medical community and make them pay attention to our problems.There are so few doctors who specialize in this (unless diabetic related) which seems unfair. If anyone is interested in pursuing this further, please let me know.
i am willing to pursue. any assistance is appreciated.

Goodness,
I am sooooo tired of hearing about diabetic neuropathy and everyone on neuropathy boards trying to tell you that you have diabetes when your Dr.'s have tested you for it over 10 times and you know for a fact that you are not diabetic.
I am an otherwise HEALTHY 22 year old female. I exercised up until the point that my neuropathy prevented me from doing running on the treadmill.
I'm not vitamin defecient. So don't try to shove B12 defeciency at me either.
Those and thyroid..
Seriously.
I don't know how many times they need to test the same thing over again to know that its NORMAL!
