Welcome to the idiopath club. I was diagnosed idiopathic polyneuropathy in June of this year. I finally got my records reviewed by a doc in the peripheral nerve center at Johns Hopkins. He said all I can do is manage symptoms. I guess polyneuropathy means we have no idea what's wrong. I haven't had much luck with meds, the ones that work have side effects that are worse than the pain. Cymbalta was working some but the pain is getting worse or Cymbalta has stopped working. My doc put me on Ultram but I'm not sure it is of much help. I'm trying acupuncture also. Only had 5 treatments so far and no improvements. I'll give it 8 - 12 before I make a decision. My mom had chemo induced neuropathy and acupuncture worked wonderfully for her. 2 weeks of treatment and it disappeared.

Glad the Gabb...works for you.
