But during those years, symptoms had been progressing slowly. That had changed since early 2012, when things have been rapidly declining, and a developing GU/GI range of symptoms that my PCP believes is autonomic in nature.

Now I feel that my situation is going downhill quicker than I thought would happen. My question is this: Have you had a slow progressive / stable PN, that suddenly became worse over the course of a year?

I look forward to your thoughts.

Thank you

Idiopathic neuropathy just means that they do not know what the cause is. Have you ever had DNA blood testing to see if they might be able to come up with a diagnosis instead of idiopathic? Is there a family history of any of your symptoms? Hope you find an answer.
