I am also trying to make sense to all of this EE03. I have sensorimotor polyneuropathy, and was told is was a mild case. If this is a mild case, I hate to see it in a form of severe case.
It also started in my ankles, unbearable to be able to relax or sleep. The burning, stinking, numb feeling and pain is horrible. Now I think it is up my leg already. I get this big circle of numbness in my upper leg. It is like only the surface of the skin though. Don't know how to explain it.
I have been reading these threads and trying to find out what this is all about. This is my first reply to a post.
Hope we can learn more and get others to help us to understand it and what is going on.
