Another Newbie / Progressive Polyneuropathy

Hi,
My name is Dan... 60 years old. I been told I have Progressive polyneuropathy.. This all started with occasional lower leg, and hip cramps. In about a year period the legs cramps continued and progressed to devastating cramps in both legs maybe 15 or 20 times a day. After many trips to the Doctors I was sent to have a EMG test, MRI, and every blood test known to man. One prescription drug that seems to help lessen the cramp pain and duration is Gabapentin. I can feel the Neuropathy in my feet, ankles, and wrists, and hands. I’m not sure how long the trip will be or what the destination is.
