Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, but not to peripheral neuropathy. Mine was diagnosed in 2009, after an EMG, but no definite cause was ever found. I'm not diabetic, and extensive MRI/CT Scans and Spinal Tap ruled out most causes.

My Rheumatologist speculates that it may be prolonged use of an antibiotic from 2007-2010 that is known to cause PN.

I was just glad that is hasn't progressed, since at the time it was found I had no idea what would happen.

I have several other conditions, but this one, PN, is the most disabling of all. And to top it off, my family can't 'see the problem' and tend to think if I 'tried harder' I would be able to walk more and do more.

How do others handle their PN?

Hugs, ElaineD
