Progressive Polyneurophathy direction needed..
Hi,
My name is Dan... I'm 60 years old. Not a drinker. I been told I have Progressive polyneuropathy.. This all started with occasional lower leg, and hip cramps. In about a year period the legs cramps continued and progressed to devastating cramps in both legs maybe 15 or 20 times a day. After many trips to the Doctors I was sent to have a EMG test, MRI, and every blood test known to man. One prescription drug that seems to help lessen the cramp pain and duration is Gabapentin. I can feel the Neuropathy in my feet, ankles, and wrists, and hands. I been having problems walking, maybe 600 feet before my legs begin to cramp. I was out on short term disability for a few months, then forced to return to work by the Insurance company medical board. I’m not sure how long the trip will be or what the destination is. Just looking for a little support or direction.
