hello, I'm new here and have neuropathy?
Hi - I was just diagnosed with neuropathy last month by an ER doctor but it was just a symptomatic diagnosis as nobody has run any tests on me. What started out as tingling in my left foot 3 years ago has now, in the last 4 months progressed to severe pain, numbness,burning in both of my feet, both legs and my genitals and buttox. It is becoming crippling and seems to be moving up my body. I do not have health insurance but I have an appointment at a volunteer clinic in 2 weeks. The doctor at the ER put me on 900 mgs. of Gabapentin 3 weeks ago along with flexeril and Vicoden but I have not noticed any improvement. I'm scared and hope this clinic will be able to get me into a specialist quickly. In the meantime is it fair to assume that I do indeed have neuropathy and how does one determine the underlying cause. In the meantime I am greatful to have stumbled upon this forum and am learning alot. Has anyone tried Neuropathy Support Formula? I would welcome any advice or suggestions or information that will help me get my head around this progressively disabling condition. Thanks, John
