Greetings from a new member. I haven't made it all the way through this thread, but I wanted to note that my PN (currently "idiopathic" and probably sensorimotor) STARTED with edema (bad swelling and redness in feet and lower legs). At least, that was the first symptom I noticed. I hadn't seen much mention of that as a symptom or predecessor of peripheral neuropathy. So I'm glad (though also sorry!) that others have had this problem too. Maybe it just confirms the sad fact that this disease of ours has lots of faces.....
