A few days ago she called and said "It's official, I have neuropathy".

I said "who said?" She said "My podiatrist"

Her podiatrist did the filament on the toes thing (she had gone to him because of the pain in her toes and she thought it was her Morton's Neuroma acting up). The podiatrist said "you have neuropathy, I can give you Neurontin"

She replied "Are you crazy, my brother has neuropathy and neurontin made him deathly ill"

The doctor then said "your brother has neuropathy??" Then it's hereditary.

I asked her if she is going to follow up with emgs and nerve conductions and she is not. That is totally up to her. It's her business.

My husband called her and said: "How long have you had these symptoms (tingling, etc.) She said "Over 20 years"

He said "And you never told me"???

She said "I thought it was my Morton's Neuroma"

I have nothing more to add. I am looking into hereditary neuropathies (which is the direction I should have gone 20 years ago, but who knew???)
