My worse symptom is headaches, and to be honest, it is very difficult to hide a bad headache, usually your eyes say it all.Otherwise, I rarely mention my neuropathy, unless something happens out of my control, like balance, and such. I work in an office were nearly everyone is over 50 now, so everyone has aches and pains all the time, works for us all!

My neuro found me here in Neurotalk, realizing I had wanted an appt with him and had to settle for someone else. He emailed the site, asking if they would email me and give me his email addy. I was very impressed, to say the least. He is a very busy doctor, often times taking 6 months to get an appt with him, yet, that first time, I was seen in less than 2 months, and he has been my doctor since then. He does read here, which I think is wonderful. This is probably the best place for a doctor to actually hear and understand what we all go through.

Thank you Dr. Gudesplatt.
