Hi Douglas,

I'm sure if you've found this website you must know by now there are over 100 causes of peripheral neuropathy. It requires quite a few tests to try and find a cause, and many, including myself remain idiopathic after years of tests.

But one thing I have discovered is the mind/body is amazing in it's ability to adapt to change. While my symptoms have not improved at all in the last 2 years, I feel much better than I did when first diagnosed. Even if you knew me fairly well, you would have no clue I have a medical issue.

I think the suggestion to see a neurologist makes sense, and begin the process of ruling out the many potential causes (if you even have it).
It will take time, so try to be patient. Getting stressed out often exacerbates the symptoms so try to have a positive mental attitude. It's not easy, but it's the best advice I could have received when this journey began.

Best of luck.
