I exercise daily and feel that has helped my symptoms. In your case , however, take some time off and see if that helps. I have had odd minor injuries while exercising in the past and they took time to go away. This is common in middle age.

My PN symptoms became evident at the age of 45. It started out with dizzyness and progressed to tingling and numbness in the extremities. Also, worsening memory. I was very scared thinking maybe I had MS or a brain tumor. I had basic blood work done and eventually had MRI's and nerve conduction tests performed.

The neurologist said since I drank that this was most likely the cause. I think that the alcoholic neuropathy diagnosis is commonly used by many of them when the basic tests come up normal. It gives them an out. I badgered him and in the end he confessed he really had no idea what my problem was. He told me to come back later when it got worse and he would prescribe me neurotin. I have never seen him again.

After extensive research I made use of many of the recommenedations found on this forum. The supplements combined with a change in lifestyle/diet have made a big difference to my condition. I'm 48 now and I'm pretty sure the PN progression has been completely halted. It now very slowly is moving in reverse. I don't expect to be 100% back to normal ,but that is still my goal. Time will tell.

Take some time off from exercise and see how you feel. If that doesn't help, then look at the supplements suggested on this site and compare them to what you are currently taking if anything. I can tell you the feelings of panic slowly subside and are replaced with a resolve to get better. That approach in my opinion is the best medicine. Good luck.
