Thank you for the quick response Mrs D
My hubby is 44. We think his symptoms started around xmas time last year.
He is a recovering alcoholic and has been abstinent for 14 months. This is why we are unsure of when the symptoms first started, as they may have been masked by the alcohol and his initial recovery.
Our Dr did think that it was alcoholic PN.
Mark has had blood tests (a few over the last couple of years). At one point his liver function was affected, but it now normal. He was also tested for B12 deficiency, thyroid etc and all came back ok.
He is also being treated for depression and psychosis. His depression seems to be getting worse again, which I put down to his constant pain and feeling his every day life has ended, as there is very little he can do any more.
His current meds are:
Mirtazapine for depression.
Quetiapine for psychosis.
Pregabalin for PN.
Tramadol to help with pain.

Hope this helps.
Can I please ask, is it normal to get this very painful electric shocks with PN?
Thank you once again
