Have you seen a neurologist? How did they dx you with PN? Do they know why you have PN? Have you had bloodwork

I have not seen neurologist.
I think the widespread pain criteria is why rheumy MD said no to fibromyalgia. I do have pain in various locations of body, but not all at one time.
I don't know why I have nerve pain. I think the diagnosis was based on tingling, numbness, and electric shock type of pain.
