Small and large fiber peripheral neuropathy. Doctors have been unable to identify the cause. I have had test after test and all blood work has come back normal. Had an MRI done and it showed atrophy to my cerebellum. Preliminary diagnosis is Spinocelebellar Ataxia. My balance has gone down hill over the past 5 years. I have little feeling in my legs from the knee down and my feet. My arms and hands have started to numb. I will say that I have started Cymbalta and it has helped with the neupathic pain. I have also begun to use a TENS unit and regularly attend acupuncture. I swim in order to stay active. All of this has helped. I have had serveral DNA tests completed to hopefully get a final diagnosis. I meet with my neurologist at the end of May to discuss the results.
