Hi Semaphor,
Where in Australia do you live, I live in Brisbane. I am seeing a neurologist in July but I do not know if he specialises in neuropathies but my doctor recommended him. I am seeing him as a private patient as the public system is very slow in Queensland, waiting list can be up to two years going public. Have you had any blood tests and what have you been tested for. Before I went on neurotalk I had know idea and I have learnt a lot so hang in there, have you been tested for B12 and D and glucose levels.
I know what you are going through and it can be very frustrating as you feel very alone, I have small fibre Peripheral neuropathy and it seems it is slowly taking over my body, it is hard to explain to your family and friends what is happening to you.
Read the Stickys at the top of the page and the new PN sub forum, they will give you lots of information. I am sure more people will give you more advise soon.
Just remember you are not alone and I hope things improve for you soon.
