I'm a 20-something female, just developed PN suddenly in the last few weeks and am currently trying to figure everything out. Main symptom is foot/leg numbness and now some muscle weakness. Had some labs done that are "okay" so far, and so I'm trying to wrap my head around this whole thing as it has essentially caught me by surprise and turned my life around. Still struggling to accept the fact that this may likely be a part of the rest of my life. I'm learning a lot here and have tons of questions and so once I can organize my thoughts I'll be back, but thought to throw this brief intro out here. Major to everyone who is going through this, this is a crazy thing to deal with!

Welcome to PN.

We would all like to know more about you.

20 is pretty young for PN...there may be something you can do
to change this if it is not hereditary (CMT).

Hi poetic license, nice name by the way. I am a young sufferer of neuropathy too. I am 24 years old. I would also like to know more about you. Neuropathy does heal, like it is said in the stickies. Welcome here, you will learn a lot about your body!

Welcome. This is a wonderful forum with some very knowledgeable people on board. I know they have given me a lot of help and understanding...

Welcome. It will be interesting to find out more about you. Family history, what kind of tests you have had, etc. Thank you.

Hi yes it certainly does change your life, Go through the stickies here great place to start. This is supposed to happen to other people right? The toughest bit is acceptance, that takes time and only then you can truly deal with the condition, good luck
