Symptoms can vary and should not be the basis of the differentiation. I have symptoms in my feet and hands, but I have a NLDPN. NLDPN and LDPN classically have different causes but there are overlaps, as well as the always fun idiopathic etiology.

Thank you kwinkler, do you know much about ganglion neuropathy. I read that non length neuropathies can attack the ganglion cells in the spine. What are your symptoms and where are you affected. Do you have twiches at all. Are you still mobile and how long have you had your neuropathy? Thanks a lot!
