I'm not quite sure how it can be moderate to severe if you don't have pain.. that doesn't make sense to me. I am totally bedridden because of PN and have a very very severe case--so yes, it can get a LOT worse. You are very very lucky--a weird sensation is not a lot to deal with, though I do know it is annoying.

I know you said you would like to avoid medications, but I have been told by many doctors that that is all that can be done for neuropathy. Others on this board have said otherwise and have tried physical therapy and other things--but I tried PT when my pain first started before I was diagnosed and it didn't help. I have been on countless medications for neuropathy and none have helped, so at this point my neurologist has told me that I have no choice but to just live with the pain because he can't do anything else to help me.

I'd ask your neurologist for other options besides medications--maybe physical therapy or something like that. I'm sure others will reply with other things that have helped them as well.

It can get worse, depending on the cause of neuropathy--do you know why you have neuropathy? Any ideas? Have your vitamin levels been checked?
