Hi everyone,

Just wondering...I have mild PN have had it now for about 2.5 years. My doc says its caused by the epilepsy and that it will get worse (I also have diabetes).

I've noticed in the last week more shocks of pain and burning in one foot, and much more prolonged tingles, numbness and pain in my left hand. How does this thing develop and how rapdily can it hit?

Is there such a thing as a PN "Attack" where it's bad for a few days then recedes?

I know I had less feeling in my feet and on one leg during the most recent diabetic review, but I am trying to seperate what is caused by the epilepsy and what is caused by the diabetes...

I'ts just too hard for the doc to explain because every time I ask him he frowns and says "it's complicated" (which means it would take up more than the obligatory less than 7 minutes in the consulting room which makes him $300 an hour instead of $200 an hour lol).

Any input gratefully received and appreciated,

Rhiannon
