in my feet..........unbearable

@@edmcadory7226 Ed, what do we do?? I had it in my feet several years ago and it was the worst so I feel for you completely it's no better in the hands it's just a different situation you know There is no cure for this what are you doing

@@kavitadeva Gabapentin works for flare ups, pins and needles, burning sensation etc. I have been on it for years, keeps increasing as the doses.

Remco thanx but I cannot find anything on that. Can you please provide a link/source??

Did you get well ? Pls reply I'm also suffering molyneuropathy .

@@ernest48 No. Not well. I'm worse on a walker full time now inside & outside. All treatments have failed due to bad side effects or else not working. These treatments have failed: Methotrexate pills & injections for over 6 months, Imuran for 7 weeks which made me extremely sick, Prednisone 40 MG every day made my legs swell horribly making me more crippled...swelling went down after about 2 months, 12 infusions of IVIG did nothing, Gabapentin made me puke my guts out, my strong pain med every 5 hours helps very little. I'm now trying Cytoxan in a daily 50 MG capsule...been taking it over a week & no real changes yet...my legs are deep numb & in constant pain making me very bad crippled...my knee joints & ankle joints might be more limber & flexible a little bit. I desperately want to live & suffer while waiting for relief. I believe something can happen making me better, at least better enough to live again. I hope & pray you get relief. Ask/tell me anything. We can all learn from each other.

@@curtischildress9580 how old are you sir ? According to neurology therapist my diagnosis is poyloneuropathy quadripareris but I've no pain nd I can walk as well I feel heavy nd weakness tingling sensation in the sole nd when I fold my toes it's going to be cramp that's it I also taking a lot of medicine bion injection pregalin neurobin etc ... Calcium magnesium also taken but not getting any better result Nov 16 I prefer to go to another therapist . Hope you also get well soon .

@@ernest48 Compared to me your condition is great...I'm basically dying now. At age 60 I took a pneumonia shot & this misery began about 6 weeks later & has gotten worse all the way. I nearly 64 now. Before this bad condition hit me, I was a hiker/biker very physically active & very healthy...now I can't hardly go to the toilet & fix my food. Please keep trying to get better. I hope your condition never progresses like mine has done. ...Have you had never tests/scans on arms & legs? Also check on possible pinched spinal & neck nerves which can cause numbness/tingling. Diabetes can cause such problems. Some medications can cause these problems. Certain food additives can cause these conditions. Exposures to certain chemicals in the environment can cause nerve disorders. I've had a great number of tests & scans. Keep pushing for better days...I think you'll be well again. See new doctors & therapists. I see a Neurologist who diagnosed my condition.

@@curtischildress9580 I have also done a lot of tests like MRI of cervical spine with whole spine screening nd MRI of Cervical spine with screening of CVJ ( p & c ) . I've no bad evidence i just lost my normal cervical lordosis and prominent spinous process of C2 vertebra on left side. Cervical cord also normal . After doing this Doctor referred for NCV test nd it's also done but maybe according to NCV test weakness of BIL lower limb was appeared . I'm only 19 years old I've not achieve any goals yet 😭 if I will be paralysis on this year god would be so disappointed me .
