hi Miriam

Sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time at the moment.

As far as I know neuropathy does not cause muscle pain, except indirectly via cramps and spasms in motor neuropathy as then muscles become very weak they can become spastic (which has happened to me - my muscles are weak because they no longer receive correct messages via my damaged nerves).

But, that is only in limited areas of my body, and is not an overall feeling.

If this aching continues, then it may be worth talking to a doctor about fibromyalgia. This is NOT a waste paper basket dx, and many people really struggle with it. My friend has it, and it is very nasty, but can be treated. So, if your symptoms continue, then this may be something worth persuing.

Hope you feel better soon - I feel for you with young kids (mine are now young adults - phew) but I definitely remember the days of struggling with being unwell/exhausted/whatever and having to be an active mum at the same time.

all the best
