[QUOTE="jp619, post: 2615583, member: 136353"] Hi everyone, I wanted to give you all an update. You may remember I was told out-right that I had diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and was sent home with duloxetine. Accept it, go home and take these tablets was the advice. I continued to push doctors on this, but they were insistant, refusing any further investigation, that diabetes was the cause. I eventually manged to convince my doctors to send me for a nerve conductivity test, but when the results came in they still insisted diabetic neuropathy and wouldn't refer me on or investigate further. Go home and take tablets was still their advice. This morning I've seen an amazing Neurologist Consultant privately. She's an expert in her field. After a much more thorough examination she's concluded that my pain isn't anything to do with diabetes. Instead she believes a Covid infection I had before Xmas '22 has lead to an inflammatory response that is causing my nerve pain. The good news is that there is a chance this may clear, maybe even on it's own. I'm being sent for more tests, and potentially I'll need immunoglobulin treatment, although for now none is needed as symptoms don't seem to be getting worse. My efforts now are to look at all things anti-inflammatory to aid my potential recovery. I'm taking a handful of supplements for neuropathy - as it happens many of those supplements have antioxident and antiinflammatory properties - maybe that has helped me so far! Any thoughts on this?
