Welcome to NeuroTalk, tollyleslie!!! I hope you'll get the support that you need. There's a great bunch of folks here, but its kinda strange that few use the chat rooms.

Default Hello and Welcome!

Hello Tollyleslie and WELCOME to Neurotalk!

I don't know much about Polyneuropathy but from what I have read it says it's a simultaneous malfunction of the Peripheral Nerves throughout the body.

Here is a link to our Peripheral Neuropathy Forum:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum20.html

Please feel free to roam around and join in anywhere!

I hope to see you around the boards.

Abbie

Default Please also go to the Autoimmune Forum....

Found here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum44.html

See where you 'fit'?
Check out the 'stickies' at the top of each forum where there is a heap of info to start from...then ask your questions....
Both sites can help you to cope with the pain and numbness and other 'things' that come with the territory.
I've an auto-immune neuropathy. Along with other immune issues, and I understand that we don't always 'fit' into a simple box.
Just at this point? Don't Panic! LEARN! Folks here are kind good and understand many sorts of pains.
Don't be afriad to ask questions? But first read up on past questions asked... it mite have been asked already.. LEARN and read and then? Don't be shy.

Hello, my name is Jocelyn and I am new to this site. I have been suffering with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy for almost 3 years. I have had 3 back surgeries...after the 1st one, I got a staph infection and had to be reopened to clean it out. Then, on Feb 14, 2008, I had my 3rd surgery, and that is when I ended up with the RSD. I have absolutely no feeling in my left leg, but the pain is so bad on the inside that I have told my husband that I want to cut it off! I am now starting to get the pain in my right foot! The pain medication does not help. A year ago I was taking percocet 10/325, 2 every 4 hours, and when my insurance company stopped paying for it, the dr dropped it down to 5/325, 2 every 4 hours, which is half the dose I was taking. The pain is now much worse now, especially since it has moved to another area, and I have been asking my dr since May to give me a stronger medication, but it seems as if he doesn't hear me. I am 42 yrs old and I feel like I'm 82!! I am on .5 mg of zanax for anxiety (no help), 1200 mg of neurontin 3x's a day, 50mg of amitriptyline at night to help me sleep (which I still don't sleep) and the percocet for pain (which doesn't help)!!!! I am sad & depressed all of the time and sometimes wonder why I'm alive! If I had 1 wish, I would wish for a full 24 hour good day, starting with a good night's sleep! I know that won't happen so all I ask for is to have a decent quality of life! I would appreciate it if someone had a suggestion on how to make my dr understand that I need stronger pain medication to give me that best quality of life!! Thankyou, Jocelyn

Hello All, I suffer from post chemo neuropathy and wonder if others who have this condition feel more pain at night than during the day. Also, what supplements do you take to try and alleviate the condition? Thank you, Suzanne White

Welcome to NeuroTalk. There are some studies showing that acetyl carnitine can prevent or repair Chemo damage. Ideally this should be done while the chemo is being had.

However, I would try it anyway, as there is nothing to lose except some $$.

This post should get you started:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post653568-5.html

Please stop by out Peripheral Neuropathy board, and start reading our subForum there as well.
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum119.html

The main board is for general conversation about PN:
