I have my first neuro appointment scheduled and have a laundry list of questions. My biggest concern is that this is hereditary, not acquired due to gluten sensitivity like I've been thinking these past six months. If it's hereditary I'm afraid there isn't going to be anything I can do to stop it. My dad has severe PN in both legs up to his knees, both sensory and motor. He's fallen a number of times because he trips over his feet. I'm desperately searching for answers so I don't end up there when I get to be his age. He's never been to a doctor for it, so we don't know the cause

Just a thought for you to ponder...gluten sensitivity is hereditary too. Very well could be, your dad is gluten intolerant, and that's why he has the neuropathy to begin with. Find out if you are gluten intolerant, also find out your B12 level, and Vit D. They both are very necessary for optimal health. I was deficient in both, resulting in my neuropathy, which was all caused by my gluten intolerance. Had I known about gluten to begin with, I may never have developed the neuropathy.
