I understand, I was undiagnosed for about 20 years. My neurologist feels that I have PN and autonomic neuropathy but I am in the middle of a diagnosis. Blood work and skin biopsies have been taken and I will talk to him in February.

I also have fairly severe fibromyalgia. It feels very achy. The neuropathy feel sensory - either too much sensation, cramps and/or pain or numbness and tingling, coldness, twitching, etc.

I do know that I have to keep my overall health in top notch condition, i.e., good sleep hygiene, eating properly and trying to keep stress at a tolerable level, exercising as much as possible but not overdoing it. If I don't adhere, the fibromyalgia gets worse and that makes the neuropathy symptoms much worse.

I wish you well and hope you can find a combination that works for you...Mere
