I sure wish that I had some answers for you.. I hate asking a question and then getting a reply that isn't helpful.. but unfortunately, I think you have much more knowledge than I do, so I am not much help.

I am curious though... I was going to send you a private message, but figured I am not the only one who will read this and wonder...

What do you mean by you are too old for some treatments? I often hear that surgery for certain things is not an option for younger people, because it can limit mobility (things such as a spinal fusion). But, I have never once heard that someone was too old for treatment.

However, I also am from South Dakota and the only treatment theyg ive for PN is medicines... all these other things that I read about on this forum are not an option around here.

I would definitely pursue the extra blood work if it will give you some peace of mind... and if it would possibly find a cause.

Good luck!
