Hi mum. My GP diagnosed me with PN too. She ran some bloodwork which didn't show any diabetes or B12 deficiency, then pretty much just said "oh well." I didn't figure out until about 1-2/2 years later that I should see a specialist and pursued that all on my own. Fortunately, I had/have health insurance that allows me to do that.

I don't know if this is the normal reaction or not from a GP but it did happen to me too. You certainly are right to want a specialist to get involved!

Is it also common to have PN with just the sypmtons of pins and needles??
Absolutely! Textbook symptoms!
