However, the Dr's were interested as my father is a 10-15 year sufferer of PN. But they found no connection between the two of us through blood tests taken. Which was a surprise. I am still awaiting other results like B12. The decision on stopping alcohol and other things on my list in my action plan are all my idea as I want to test to see if my symptoms can be reduced or at least slowed down.

My main question that I feel no one can really help me with is how much time to I have? My work requires me to be on my feet as I am a professional soccer coach. Will I be able to continue with this? If not am I doing damage to them now by still working and occasionally running and demonstrating. Even though recently I have slowed right down and try and Direct more and have others do the work for me. It may be better just to change my approach to my work. I guess the next stage is to go to complete management where all I do is talk and not deliver.

No one knows in my work that I have this condition. I am trying to hide it.

Kitt. What else can one take other than Gabapentin for the fuzzing in the feet? If I do go up to 1800 mg will my fuzzing just stop, but then have many side effects?

Wow so many questions Kitt. Thanks again for talking to me. I hope you are OK and finding a way?
