I have some questions regarding neuropathy and what some of you have experienced over the years. My continuous burning/pain had a sub-acute onset and started in May '11.

1. All my tests so far have come back normal, except Vit D, which is now normal. NCV/EMG normal, blood tests normal, MRI/Cat scans normal etc. The question is, am I considered "Idiopathic" or does "Idiopathic" mean an abnormal NCV/EMG but with no known cause? Don't understand the term.

2. With all the supplements being suggested and taken, are they in fact working for anyone and to what degree? Since supplements are not regulated by the FDA, how do you known you are getting what you pay for? Are the manufacturers verified by the USP?

3. Was anyone taking anti-depressants before their PN started? Has anyone heard of a correlation between anti-depressants and PN?

4. I haven't had a solid bowel movement since this started, not really diareaha(sp), just soft and pasty, sorry Had the blood tests for Celiac already, negative.

5. Does anyone experience blurry / double vision periodically? Is this from the gabapentin or neuropathy?

Thanks,
Tommy
