Thanks Megan, Yes I know it is going to be a long process, I spent a year thinking I had spinal stenios and was rudly told by a neurosurgen that I did not. I am now on the waiting list to see a neurologist but as you know with Aust medical system it could take a long time. I guess this is why the neurologist that did my nerve conduction test did not suggest that I have the IENFD boipsy and just refered me back to my doctor, my doctor is very good and is quite impressed I think about all the research I have been ddoing, I guess he will get sick of me after awhile, it is a case of going to him and saying this is a new symtom is it PN. he of cource says he thinks it is. I have had this now for nearly two years, but am glad now that I now what is wrong even if I don't know what is courseing it. My symptons include pins and neddles in both feet feels like I have knee hi socks on, burning at times more often later in the day. I get pins and needles in my hands, this is at odd times but wake up at night with at least one hand with pins and needles. It has also gone to my face and head and also tingling feelings in my buttocks which also run up and down my legs. I also have bladdler and bowl problems. I also have back and leg pain. my back pain is a lot better now that I am taking cymbalta, but as I said earlier my legs still ache all the time.

It is good to talk to people who know what you are talking about, other people can not see or feel what is happening to you.

Thank you

Lesley
