I now get 'tingles" up my arms only very very mild but...
Zorro, thanks for validating my concerns. I never really thought that I had back issues. I'm a teacher, so yes, my lower back hurts basically all the time. Just decided it was a job "hazard." However, now I cannot stand for a long period of time without feeling that my lower back could just snap. Also, if I sit for a period of time, my hips becoming very stiff. I don't know if any of this has to do with the neuropathy. Somedays I begin to worry perhaps I have MS. I get tingling around my face and mouth. It is constant like the hands and feet.

This next 2 weeks of waiting for the neuro appointment is going to be anxiety filled! Thanks for listening. My husband doesn't understand, so I don't talk to him about my pain or symptoms...that's a whole other story. His a great guy, he just isn't a good empathizer.

Do you mind telling me more about your symptoms and diagnosis/prognosis?
God Bless
