I am new to this discussion group and would appreciate your thoughts on my recent sudden onset of Peripheral Neuropathy (PN).

I am going to put the timeline in point form so as not to write as essay:

- I have been taken a daily multivitamin for several years
- 6 months ago started talking B Complex for mild depression
- 4 months ago received vaccine for shingles which I contracted the year before. No pain or PN as a result of the initial singles outbreak
- 3 months ago depression became severe. I was put on Prozac and at the same time was diagnosed with the early stages of type 2 diabetes
- Within three to four weeks of being put on Prozac started feeling numbness and tingling in my toes. GP said it was because of the increased activity (Exercises) and my body would adapt
- Within two month and a half months of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes , I dropped 50 pounds, exercising five times a week and changed my diet dramatically with the help of a diabetic nurse
- GP very pleased with my glucose numbers. My glucose levels then and now are within acceptable ranges and I manage my diabetes with diet and exercise.
- GP was very surprised at how quickly I lost the weight and changed my diet. GP Told me that I was to aggressive on the weight loss and should have done it more gradually. Recommended I get better workout shoes and only do low impact exercises for the PN.
- Eight weeks after PN symptoms started starting Saw a neurologist and he said it was because of the diabetes.
- Talked with my GP about the correlation between the Prozac and the sudden onset of PN
- GP weened me off Prozac over four weeks. PN improved significantly. It had receded from my ankles to a couple of toes and a partial area of the balls of my feet
- GP has tried two other antidepressants from different classes since then and the PN has increased to all of my toes and the balls of my feet but not up to my ankles as before with Prozac
- My GP is stumped so he has lined up referrals over the next couple of months to see a Neurologist, Endocrinologist, Pediatrist, psychiatrist and Chiropractor)
- GP is waiting on a series of blood tests to come back within the next couple of weeks
- I have stopped all vitamin supplements
- Only performing low impact exercises now

I know it is very early in the discovery process and I am still waiting on several test results and several other doctor appointments mentioned above. However, has anyone else had a similar experience?

Thanks in advance for your help
