Thank you for your response. (I just read my original post. I had a bunch of misspellings.)
Before the neuropathy started I was on metformin, januvia, baby aspirin and lisinaphril. My A1c has hovered around 7.0. Mild diabetes and some hypertension. That' all.
My docs have tested for EVERYTHING they could think of. I was tested for heavy metals, toxins, blood disorders of all kinds. I don't drink except on special occasions. The only abnormality they found ( other than diabetes) was low-normal B12. I have been getting B12 injections every two weeks since then and take metanx twice daily.
My neurologist has gotten the pain under control after six months of near debilitating pain. He seems satisfied. I am not. Until I know what the cause is, there is the threat that it is progressive. My sentiment is that you have to know the cause in order to treat the problem. Treating only the pain symptom is not my idea of acceptable treatment. ( maybe I expect too much, given the state of knowledge on neuropathy)
Is there any sites that deal specifically with non length dependent neuropathy? I am looking for something that gives symptoms, progression, etc.
Thanks again
