Thanks . I'll memorize this article for the next time I go to the Dr. If I

am told one more time that I am imagining things, I'll have an answer for him.

Some signs of neuropathy:

" Numbness, tingling and pain

Sensory nerves, when damaged, can cause various symptoms. Early on, there

may be spontaneous sensations, called paresthesias which include numbness,

tingling, pins and needles, prickling, burning, cold, pinching, sharp, deep

stabs, electric shocks, or buzzing. They are usually worse at night, and

sometimes painful and severe. Unpleasant abnormal sensations brought on by

touching or other stimuli are called dysesthesias. Or instead, there may be

anesthesia, a lessening or absence of sensation. "

I'd print it out for the doubting , .

Peripheral neuropathy is so common in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis

and diabetes that I'm surprised your physician didn't mention it.

My MD never mentions anything. I've got more answers from this panel than from

any Drs. It shouldn't really be that is, should it?

Have a pain-free Sunday, You All.

Talking about catch 22.

Since my husband is a [retired] MD, physicians automatically assumed that he

will answer all my questions and tell me everything I need to know. My husband

believes that since I am a Dr's wide, physicians will take extra good care of me

and answer all my questions. Bottom line, no one is telling me anything.

Arrrrrrrrrrgh.

And so, the shoe-makers wife does not have any shoes.

I have doctors in my family as well. One of their biggest complaint

is the lack of professional courtesy that used to exist

among physicians. Although my MIL and FIL always gave professional

courtesy, now that they are retired and need

it the most, they get the same medical care anyone else gets.

The doctors today just don't have the time to spend with

patients. Insurance companies dictate the care we get and dictate how

much time a doctor can spend with us.

I've talked to many retired doctors who all are grateful that they

got out of medicine before it became a business.

When I was diagnosed with diabetes, I already had neuropathy in my

feet. But my toes tingled instead of buzzing, LOL. After a few years of

normal blood sugar, the neuropathy thankfully disappeared. Sue
