Hi

I was wondering if people with peripheral neuropathy find they are better in the morning, and worse as the day goes by? In the morning I am kind of OKish, but by evening my knees burn/ tingle a lot, and my arms are more sensitive.

Thanks,

Chris

the drop in temperature might explain the progression, but it doesnt explain how it happens. It depends on the cause of the PN if found, People on this board have extremes on both day or night. When mine started it basically was the same throughout the day. i recently started getting pains in areas, where the pn used to be.

I have nerve damage in my feet and they for sure get worse as the day progresses

Yes, and they are worst during the night.

And usually more consistently noticeable beginning around 3pm. It continues until I go to bed. It calms down when I'm sleeping (except on nights that it keeps me up.) I don't know the explanation but I think I saw one somewhere in another post that made sense.

My pain begins at sundown...gone by morning. I've searched for an explanation for this and read it may have something to do with circadian rhythms (not much of an explanation).

Yeah that is about the same as me. I don't really notice it at night much, but gets worse as the afternoon progresses and evening too. I don't know why.

One of the reasons inflammatory arthritis was ruled out seems to be I don't really get the morning stiffness.

I am not sure of the exact relationship but I have also heard that cortisol level issues can be a contributor to this as well. Are they actually good or bad? test were done on rats but still, This is interesting food for thought...

Yes, I find that the more fatigued I am the worse my symptoms are.
