I'm brand new to this - I was diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy about 5 years ago. Seen numerous neurologists at a hospital near my home; they cannot find a cause - but it just gets worse. Pain in my foot pads initially, then my hands - surgery on both for carpal tunnel. Now my feet are both totally numbed out - and needle like pain in my legs. I've tried numerous meds - they knocked me out so I decided to live with the pain instead of the zombie feel of meds. No one I know has this - they look at you like, yeah right when you describe the sensations/pain. Hope to find others who have this same diagnosis.
