Hi, just an intro, I'm a 52 yo female, newly dx'd with PN. First went to neuro to r/o MS. I've had an MRI of the brain (clean) and spine (also no MS lesions). I do have balance issues, and use a cane most of the time.

NCS/EMG were also negative. I don't have another appt with neuro til March. I've had RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) for 4 years, and it's getting worse. There can be a link with RA and PN. I now have to switch to infusions to control my RA, and will start those in January.

Nice to meet you all!
