I am not really sure what the test is called. But he put these stickies things around my ankles and half way up my calf and put like electrical impulses and see if my toes were react, and then measure how far up the leg, whilst his nurse was recording them on computer.
He said l have very minor nerve damage, only slightly below the average in one foot and the other foot is normal on one portion but slightly out on the other. So he seemed to say it was all very mild.
He also got me to walk in a straight line barefoot and to close my eyes and stand still to see if l have any wobbliness. He people with PN in older years, tend to walk with there feet going outwards and unsteady on there feet, lose balance and may need a walking aid, but he said not to worry of me as l will be old in a nursing home by the time that happens.

He said NP is a degenerative condition. I suppose that means its normal part of ageing. My husband ate that up straight away. For my husband that was all sorted. He said to me, see that is normal part of getting older. I just can't except that. Its like my husband is already moving on. I don't' want him to worry about me, but l would like to just have his support and understanding at a time like this. He is normally pretty good, but l don't think he can handle this one.
We had a few nasty words with each other yesterday after the Neuro appointment. Husband just said to me, your not dying. Live you life now and don't think about the future, l know his right, but hard to do. The Neuro, didn't really give me much indication of how this is going to pan out for me, according to what he has experience in his profession. I just want to know what he has seen in his life. He just said, everyone is different. Well that helps heaps.
