Hello, new member here and joined because i was looking for some answers regarding my PN.. Im a male, 52 years old, I was diagnosed with a mild idiopathic peripheral neuropathy a few years ago.
I dont experience much pain but have all the symptoms of Paresthesia (buzzing,crackilng, itching, I get zaps but not very often) in both my feet and standing can be very uncomfortable. I can walk without a problem its just the standing thats uncomfortable.
My prior work history had me on my feet most of the time and now finding a job is becoming very difficult as i dont think i can stand being on my feet alot so sitting down is a priority now.
I have tried to apply for SSDI but have been turned down twice now, they say my PN isnt bad enough and i can find other work.
I have a SSDI lawyer now but my hearing wont go before a judge for another 14-18 months and im not sure i can wait that long.
Has anyone out there gotten disability from a mild neuropathy? is there really different levels of "discomfort" that doesnt render me disable?

thanks
