[QUOTE=Spectrum;935004]Have you heard of anything like this in your time on Neuro Talk? (i.e. a case with such acute onset, rapid progression and no relief from the various medicines - at least the ones I've taken thus far).

I actually have heard of it because it is exactly what happened to me. It started in my feet, up and legs and arms and right side of face in a few weeks time. My neuro told me he had never had a patient with neuropathy that moved so quickly. Also, have tried many meds without any relief. However, Cymbalta did give me some relief for the burning in my feet. I have been on it a few years now and think it may not be working as well anymore. I am currently receiving IVIG. I think it helps a little.
You are the first person I have found that had such a rapid progression as I. I know how scary it can be. Hang in there and keep fighting.
