UTGrad in all of the years i have been reading this board, which is about 11 years, you are the first who believed that their PN symptoms were due to anxiety.

yup, that was pretty unusual. My pcp thinks im just hypochondria or "Stress" related when they cant find an answer to your neuropathy. Im pretty i cant fake loss of smell or taste, and neuropathy that develop new symptoms.
I mistakenly gave them permission to look at my kaiser records which showed numerous visits to different specialist within the span of 6 months and i have seen specialist in the past before as well(nosebleeds intestinal issues), because i had different concerns. Its like to talking to a wall when it comes to my pcp(welfare doc), as soon as i mention something she tries to change the subject altogether.

WRONG

I said anxiety makes them WORSE.
