Let me ask you, is it possible for Sfn to start in the arms and not the legs?

Most PNs that are metabolic, are spread out in the body. Some start mostly in the feet because the circulation there is less than other body areas so the feet suffer first.
But when MY PN started, it was in the hands, because that is where the most stress was for me from work. Mine was from low thyroid function and it ended up in my feet too. It improved when I went on thyroid hormone finally, but getting that diagnosis took many years since it didn't show up clearly in blood work. I had to have a radioactive scan of the gland itself.
Diagnosis is really difficult for PN.... that is why this forum is so busy!
