Thanks for the reply. Its slightly reassuring to know this is normal. I have a question if you dont mind my asking, how long after diagnosis did this start? My docs are concerned at the rate that my neuropathy is progressing. They think it is my diabetes but they are not 100% certain as my diabetes isunder excellent control.
Thanks, Ian. Quote:

I started getting shocks about 4 months after my PN started and a month before I was officially diagnosed. Now, I get them about 30 times an hour, give or take a few. Sometimes they can be mild shocks, while others totally take my breath away and cause me to scream out in agony. It's the worst type of pain I have.

Mine started along with everything else in a slow progression over about a year, then leveled off and has been at a constant but not progressing to any significant degree for the past 4 years. (First Dx was 12 years ago, but its been longer, I think)
It is now under control with Lyrica & Tramadol. Each of us is different, and no two stories are exactly alike. You cannot glean information about yourself, from the way others react. You just have to wait & see what is happening with you, & take it from there..
