Hello everyone. I am lucky i found this site. I read some posts i am so sorry for any person who suffer, but i gbelieve this suffering is for a reason. I am a spanish girl, i am 19 years old. I would like to ask the people with neuropathy some questions. I am desperate, very affraid, very confused, i don't know what i have. My english has many faults. Sorry for this.
I have neuropathy, my doc told me this with a electric conduction test, this is demyelinating. It is not very bad in comparasion with other people. However, i am very affraid and confused. It started six months ago i was feeling very weak and my legs had strange sensations, i started feeling my legs numb and hot, and with strange feelings. I thought this would go but one day i went dancing with my friends and i couldn't do it. i had to sit down, otherwise i would fall. I started worrying. My parents and i visited the doc, and that doctor sent us to a neurologist. After so many tests, including blood and other he told me i had a light neuropathy. He told me i get IVIG. I had the infussion two weeks ago, and i still feel almost the same. No more weakness bot the strange sensations still here, all over my legs. The doctor told me don't worry that they wil dissapear. But i believe he is only triying to be nice and to not scare me. I read people have neuropathy since 5 years ago, ten years ago, 3 years ago. i have had neuropathy for 6 months, should i think this is a life thing? Is it being realistic that it think those weird sensations will never go away or it is just dramatic? What about IVIG, will it ever work? When? I am so sad, all my friends seem so scare because i am sick, they think this is too much for a person my age. Can you tell me about your experience? Thank you.
