Dear friend,

I'm feeling very bad. Everytime I think I'm getting better something happeneds, and today I felt a cold sensation over my whole body. It seemed like I was in the fridge. I took an anxiety pill (diasepan) and the pain (or the sensation I described stoped). Is this normal? My problem is that since I don't have a burning feet nobody believes me. It is so stupid, because I'm trying to convince Drs of something I don't want to feel. Does this make any sense!!!

I have never heard of LEP testing either.

I noticed that the sensation stopped when you took diazepam. How much of this are you using? How long have you used diazepam?

There is a phenomenon called tolerance withdrawal and also, one called interdose withdrawal. Benzodiazepines cause physical dependence, even if you have no anxiety, they can cause severe symptoms, regardless of your PN.

Oh, my feet and hands get very cold too. Coldness is not uncommon with neuropathy.

Laser evoked brain potentials are a type of nerve test.
