I have been seeing a neurologist due to extreme muscle and joint pain, i stumble a lot, drop things, forgetfullness. I do have fibromyalgia and have for years. I also have peripheral neuropathy ( no diabetes) I have had tests to rule out Lupus and MS (which does run in the family) Lupus is neg, not enough points or evidence for MS, ( no lesions on the brain) but does not mean i do not have it. So now he wants to do more aggressive and specific testing. What I want are some suggestions of what it might be from those who experiene this, so that i can read up on it so that I can ask questions and not look like a dope when we discuss different possible causes and treatments.

I have been recently diagnosed by a neurologist. What kind of treatment can I expect. The pain is incredible in my feet I can't stand it. Sometimes they are numb, sensitive to cold, tingling...does this get better?
I do not have diabetes yet but it runs in the family...recent fasting glucose was 112

Treatment for it has been about 10-11 months all the neurologist did was put me on was first she tried was cymbalta and know lyrica (first was 60 does and know it's 150 X 2) I take one pill when I get up and another at night. The pill still does not help. So I think I am out of luck and need to see a hand surgery for my operation. Though if it's needed I have some questions:
1) When they give you anistina will you fill anything even though you are sleeping?
2) My mom had it and she told me that it hurt after it was over?
3) I have it in both hands will the surgery be done in both?
4) What about my legs that have Peripheral neuropathy they tingle and such will surgery be done too?
5) Once they cut the tissue could carpal tunnel come back?

The only symptoms I do have are:
Tingling all over (hands, arms, legs, feet, head)
Aching all over
Shoulder sometimes hurts

I did have the EMG/NCS test done all over my body where it was affected.
Also I heard it cost allot of money.

I have had neuropathy for at least 8 years and the pain appears to be getting more difficult to control. The pain is primarily in my feet and lower legs. I take Lyrica twice a day but have all of the side effects associated with this product. I need help desperately but don't know where to find it. My neurologist has ordered a neuropathy profile on me and has tried several different kinds of medicines, all of which have been totally innefective. Any ideas?

I am taking several prescribed meds from a Neurologist and I have had rather decent control of my diabetes over the last 20 years. I am looking for a non-conventional treatment. Do any of you have suggestions? Please give whatever references that you can. I will research whatever route you give me. Thank you all for the assistance! Have a wonderful weekend.

I am a type 1 diabetic. I am on an insulin pump now due to the fact my pancreas is completely shot. I have started to experience neuropathy in my feet. I have seen a few doctors and other diabetic people and will be at my endocrinologist soon. I have been told by many many medical professionals that a visit to a neurologist as well as new meds..possibly neurontin or other meds will be in order. I wanted to ask anyone who has diabetic neuropathy...what do you do? how have you made it better? what has made it worse? I know that lowering you sugar level (A1C) over time decreases the risks of it worsening but how do you deal once you have it? Im extremely worried I will become an amputee. Your guidance and knowledge will help me calm my fears. Thank you.
