Default Another Newbie from the UK
Hi, My name is Maxine and I am a married mum of 3 who are aged nearly 14, a nearly 5 year old and a 18 month old. I have just been Diagnosed with PN, My legs from the knees down are affected as well as my arms and hands, neck, back and also the right side of my face, I am also now slighty incontinent which I believe is linked. I am under the care of a Neurologist and I am currently waiting to see him again after having a EMG which confirmed the diagnosis. They are unable to find the cause of PN and its not linked to any condition/illness or medication.

The past few weeks have been emotionally awful, accepting what is happening to my body and that it will most prob never be the same again, people say to be positive but thats easier said than done at times.

It would be great to have others to chat too and to get help and advice from.

I am currently on 600mg X3 a day, They help slightly but I am still on constant pain and not able to sleep at night.

Look forward to chatting and getting to know you.

Maxine xxx

Smile Hello and Welcome!
Hello Maxine and WELCOME to NeuroTalk!

I see that Darlene has graciously given the link for our Peripheral Neuropathy forum.

Please feel free to pull up a chair, kick off your shoes, and make yourself at home.

If you have any questions or need any assistance please do not hesitate to ask, someone will always be around shortly to help in any way that we are able.

I look forward to seeing you around the board.

Abbie
