Hi Trishann. I went back and read my original post here back when I was four months into my PN. It is now about ten months later. All of the tests including an EMG that I took back then came out normal, so I am still ideopathic. I was never really given any kind of diagnosis. Not too long after that I lost my health insurance for awhile and even though I got it back, it has been quite awhile since I have gone to the doctor. As far as my PN is concerned, I have had some changes. In June I took myself off the gabapentin as it wasn't working for me. My PN has gone from constant pain around a 7, 8 and even 9 to a current lower level of maybe 2 or 3. I used to have body wide pain at all times and now the pain is mostly centered in my legs, especially my left leg. My entire back, stomach and knee caps used to burn on fire, now instead I am experiencing more bits and pieces of pain in those areas during and flare up.

The flare ups come and go and seem to come on mostly at night when I am in bed. I know my hormones flare it up otherwise I can no longer pin point it to any one thing. Things seemed to have changed a bit, but with PN you can find yourself getting better or going right back to your worse period. I just don't take anything for granted and try and get through each day at a time.

Thank you for asking Trish. I hope you too are able to find something that works in giving you relief. Please keep us posted...
