(was) Beautiful day (now) peripheral neuropathy

[Guest guest]

I was dxed with peripheral neuropathy too. Then they did the nerve conductions on my legs and said there was nothing wrong with my legs. I asked my neuro why my legs hurt so bad if there is nothing wrong with my legs??? He said "it's the MS". Is your symmetrical? I thought my was because both legs hurt but I have realized there really is a difference from one leg to the next. You are on Cymbalta, right? What dose? I had been nearly pain free but now the pain level is creeping up and I wonder if I should be on a higher dose. I take 60 mgs. Sharon Re: Beautiful day I know, the last few days my hands and feet have hurt soo bad. Not when they are still but when I'm walking our using my hands. I know this is peripheral neuropathy. But why would I have peripheral neuropathy? They just treat it and don't question why. Maybe it's a disorder that starts at the peripheral and then moves to the primary(which is scary) but nobody listens to me. I'm just a pt with symptoms, not a person and a nurse. That's why I hope my PCP can help ' in Texascassandra workmn <payngabby72@ yahoo.com> wrote: ,Have they looked for other dymelinating diseases?or just ms? I STILL wonder if mine is.How could they know for sure with 1 mri?Dosnt make sense.What about you,how many have they done on you? I SOOOOOO wish I was healthy,so I could be a doc.Way to many people have to go threw this crap.And you have a lesion,I think its cuz you have to meet the criteria,but I think some docs can dx that way,and ive heard of people being dx'd with symptoms and some other dx tests.I could be wrong but I think alot has to do with the doc.This 1 lady I read about on a forum,she didnt have any lesions show up for like 10 yrs. And I guess everything else was ruled out so they gave her an ms dx based mainly on her syptoms.Im sure she had to have had some other abnormals,but not in the

spinal or mri.Im gonna look for were I seen it,if I can find it ill ost it.[dixmstxyahoo (DOT) com] wrote:He sounds like the same jerk I went to last summer who when I tried to express how this was affecting my life and started crying he said I was somatic and needed to see a psychiatrist.

THEN they say devics,and not that,and maybe

this.Im surprised im not crazy by now.lol.I cant wait to see a shrink so he can tell these docs Help this girl already!lol. The specialist at UCSF says im depressed and upd the zoloft(quack quack-n its not the duck,lol) then in the report he puts I recomend to the pt that she see a psycologist or psychiatrist to discuss her concurrent symptomatology. ALl because I cried at the visit when I told him my new SERIOUS symptoms.HE Didnt find or see anything,in fact he didnt even spend that long evaluating me. I was fine on 20 mg.of paxil,then my neuro switched me to zoloft 50mg,and this guy upd it to 100mg.Im content with mylife,jusnot my health.Does that make sense?[dixmstxyahoo (DOT) com] wrote:Yea...and for my disability updates, I type them up and fax them to my Dr.s nurse. Today has almost been a wheelchair day. They still haven't given me a diagnosis, says there's definitely neuro

involvement but since I only have one lesion they can not call it MS. So I asked the specialist, how about the 10% that don't have lesions and the 10% that have negative spinal taps and she said, they'll eventually show lesions. So I asked her if it was possible my body was still trying to fight it, and she said yes and it might win. Just to get on with my life and see her in 3 months, it's not like she was telling me I had cancer or Lou Gehrigs. Great. Continue to have good and bad days and try to tell someone why you can't work at your job is because on Friday you were normal and on Monday you were hospitalized and came home with a walker, wheelchair, and an iindwelling catheter. But there's always that option that it's all in my head. They did send a Shrink to eval me while I was in the hospital and he said I was just having some trouble adjusting to the changes in my lifestyle. Duh? I wonder why.LOLI'm in a bad mood because I haven't got a disability

check since the 12th because they are reviewing to see if I had a pre-existing disease. How can I have a preexisting disease when I don't have A DX? They make me want to scream. I told them Don't ya'll realise that I'm the primary incomein my family and I need money,' in Texascassandra workmn <payngabby72@ yahoo.com> wrote:wow .They give you all that?
