You and i appear to be in the same age range..... 40-something, so just thought i'd drop by. You've got alot of wonderful feedback already.....so many people here are so caring and i've found this forum a place to get better advice from than any amount of 'Doctors' so to speak....

Neuropathy is a mysterious cohort to say the least. My daughter was the one that brought to my attention that she noticed a sort of 'pattern' or 'cycle' with my bad days/pain flares. I've always been pretty vulnerable to depression and insecurity throughout my life....but in these past few years when the neuropathy became my 'identity', it was discovered in labwork that my hormones were completely depleted and i had severe hyPOthyroid.....
Just wondered if you've had a thorough thyroid check. ?

You've found a wonderful place to get great info.....I'm not the real 'intellectual' type by all means, but i sure can relate to your frustrations as a woman fighting for a decent quality of life.....

All my best
Rae
