Default New to Neurotalk

What started with a numb finger and thumb four years ago, thinking Carpal Tunnel at that time, has still not been diagnosed. I have pain in both hands and wrists, three emg studies have proven that it is not carpal tunnel and that there is nothing wrong with the nerves running from my neck to my fingers.

Since that time, I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which is fairly mild and well controlled at this point in time. Sleep Apnea which I have a CPAP machine for and my AHI is <3 most nights. I am seeing a neurologist next month that deals with neuropathy? as his specialty. The neurologist I see for Parkinson's is a movement disorder specialist and does not deal with neuropathic issues. I have seen pain management specialists, but got tired of the fog and did not do welll with neurontin, trilaptel, or lyrica. I have had steroid shots to my neck, the first one gave me thirty days of relief. The second two, did nothing.

I am interested in figuring out this pain thing, as I am tired of the pain.
