Hi Melody! I have been around Neurotalk for a while now but have been away for a while. I post in the diabetes forum...it is a shame it is so quiet there....and have read many of your posts. You are amazing to me and when I finally get my head screwed on and get a grip on the diabetes I would like to be like you! You seem to have such a dedication to your own wellbeing....I want that for me too! I do have a question. I have wondered for a while if I may have a problem like PN. My left hand and occasionally my right go numb, for no reason at all. It is quite irritating and keeps me up at night, however happens day or night. I THOUGHT it may be carpel tunnel, but I had CT in my right hand 7 years ago. This is not quite the same. I do not know if this is PN or not. I also get the same feeling in my back/neck...where they connect. Sometimes when I am sitting...other times I am standing?? My feet used to go numb as well...just before I was diagnosed with type2 diabetes. I have not had a problem with them since. I also wonder if the burning sensation I hear of must be present for this to be PN? I do not have the burning that others speak about. I will eventually get to my doctor. Is there a particular test I should be asking for....a particular specialist maybe?? A little advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much, Melody!!!
