If this is the cause and it is taken care of, do you think the PN will stop and nerves will regenerate or is it where if the damage is done, it is done? I am only 34, with kids, husband, and working as a teacher. I am nervous to go back in the fall with all these symptoms.
Hi, I don't have any answers, but like you, I am a teacher and was diagnosed with PN in March. I had my first visit with the Neuro a few weeks ago and will have my first lower lumbar MRI on 7/11. I am working up my dose of Lyrica, but my symptoms are increasing.. Like you I worry about the fast approaching school year!
