I started out with a peripheral neuropathy diagnosis, antibiotic side-effect suspected . . . but my MS specialist (do not have a firm DX yet) said he felt that was a misdiagnosis. And in fact, instead of getting better when I stopped taking the medication . . . I have continued to worsen. My numbness and burning and electric shock sensations in my feet have turned into spasms and severe pain. I also think I may have blamed my first MS hug symptoms on other issues too. And it didn't help that I have had 6 abdominal surgeries in 8 years, Crohn's, gall bladder, colectomy.

I am riddled with autoimmune diseases all related to Crohn's.
