Thank you for giving me your shoulder to cry on I appreciate that so much. My neuropathy started in my feet and within just a few months progressed upwards and involved my whole body. I have taken Gabapentin for over a year and although it does help the pain it gives me headaches everyday and makes me feel dopey, but I have to use it or I am on tremendous pain. I pray everyday it will get better and I just need to trust the Lord that He will get me through this. Anyway thank you so much for being a support to me. Blessings, Jan

Jan,
I just wanted to let you know that I also went numb all over like you. It was very frightening. It is resolving now after 13 months and now that numbness has turned into positive symptoms like pain and hypersensitivity and the clawing feeling i described earlier. Since i had neuropathy years ago and fully recovered, and now i have it again, I beleive the pain will subside and i will get better in due coarse. Healing can be painful, I remember this from before. Alot of these autoimmune neuropathies are self limiting, the immune system eventually stops attacking and recovery takes place. You have a lot of good specialists looking after you and you are in good hands with them. Keep praying, and have faifth that you will recover. It just takes time. Blessings back to you.
