Hi, Welcome

What's your B-12 Level?

B-12 deficiency can cause PN. Read all the posts about it on these forums.

Interesting stuff. Others will jump on board and help you.

that's been tested.. it was fine....

Even so I started taking the B-12 from iherb that you recommended for more than a month now.

I hope someone has an inkling of a clue... because you'll be my hero my drs. don't have one... in three months of testing and examinations.

-though I'd recommend they extend it a few more hours, with measurement, concurrently, of your insulin levels as well as glucose. This is because it is now well-documented that impaired glucose metabolism can result in neuropathy, especially of the smaller fibers that subsume the sensations of pain and temeprature, well before frank diabetes would be diagnosed.

There've been a number of recent posts that list a number of papers and overview on that subject:

Moreover, you sound like could very possibly have a small-fiber neuropathy--and these are often very hard to discover with "standard" testing, but the symptoms--sensory and/or autonomic--can be severe.

Thanks!!

I will read all of it.. I appreciate your reply!!

HI Babs! I had all those tests and they all came back fine....was a little low on Carnitine and Vit. D. Finally my dr. scheduled a nerve/muscle biopsy and that diagnosed Chronic Axonal Neuropathy......that might talk to your dr. about that. My dr. said a lot of the time it's the only thing that shows what the problem is. Good luck! Roxie
