Well, I just returned home from seeing the new neurology specialist I was referred to at Methodist Hopital in Houston. She was very thourough and did more blood work and is scheduling me for a spinal tap. Is this a fairly 'normal' procedure when trying to diagnose neuropathy? I was wondering if anyone here has had this done and what to expect. She gave me samples of Cymbalta and some information on CIDP. This is the first I've heard about this and I'm curious to read and learn more from any of you who have this diagnosis and are being treated for it.
I was also wondering if anyone's neuropathy symptoms (in the feet) gets worse from sitting in and or driving a car for any length of time. On the way home from Houston my feet became almost completely numb. WAY more so than usual and it seemed to go further up my leg than it ever has.
I am sitting here at my computer in tears...just when I think I'm moving in a positive direction things always seem to get worse. sigh...

Any help or advice will be GREATLY appreciated! I'm so scared.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice... <3
