My advice to you is to push doctors for things, you know what your feeling and you know its not normal. I'm 35 years old, not what a heart & vascular patient should look like but along with my PVD I was in the hospital Thanksgiving morning with heart failure. I got lucky and found a vascular doctor that even though he thought, "we're not going to find anything", he tried tests anyway. Now I see a cardiologist that I love, I've gotten my medicine adjusted and for the most part I'm feeling a lot better. My feet still burn sometimes and I've noticed that when I eat a lot of sugar they get worse but its better than it was when I originally posted to this site. By the way, about the sugar thing, I was told that sugar makes your blood thicker kind of syrupy so its harder to flow and less blood flow to your feet will make your feet burn and go numb. You may want to try that.

I don't know if any of you have PN or PVD but if you have any questions about anything please let me know. I've been to neurologists, rheumatolgists, vascular surgeons, cardiologist, nutritionist, etc. maybe there's something I've discovered along the way that could help?
