Hi all,

I am new to the forum. I'm am happy to have a place to come and open up to others suffering similiar health conditions as myself. For more info regarding my case feel free to ask or visit my post in introductions. I am so new to all this so I'm still trying to educate myself on such an immense complex illness. I have not been dx with anything yet. Going to a neuro, hopefully soon. waiting for my referral to be processsed.

Anyway, my question is what are the possible odds that I am dealing with a hereditary neuropathy? Both my gmother and dad suffer from neuropathy. My dad is too stubborn and out of health insurance, he doesnt push for testing and this high dose of neurotin to deal with the pain. My grandmother was dx with PN in all four limbs and stopped there. She didnt do any more testing, saying she was too old and they couldnt do much for her. She has debilitating disabilities. Has not been able to stand in over 10 years, extreme muscle atropy, the list goes on and on. Oh and the spinal problems we all suffer are a whole other topic! I just wanted to know if any of you think there is a link or I'm totally barking up the wrong tree. I'm 26, & just need some kind of explanation. I know you all have been there so I dont want to sound selfish. I'm just worried about my future.
