Just been told over the ‘phone that I have neuropathy after being type 1 for 45 years. I rang the surgery a month ago after having a nerve conduction test and they said as I’d not heard from them it meant my results were normal. Well guess what? Ive just rung as I’m feeling pretty rough and I’ve got it in my hands and feet and what’s more the GP was rude and abrupt and questioned if I could hear him as I was so stunned. This happened two years ago when I was tested for coeliac disease. The same surgery failed to tell me my blood test was positive and I should go for a biopsy for a year….Should I go for the Alpha Lipoic Acid route as apparently it’s ‘mild neuropathy’? Although the GP needs to see me trying to walk before he makes that comment. Am so upset about it. Any advice on it all? I’m doing lo carb and eating a healthy veggie diet. I’m not going back on anything like opiates again - I’m also epileptic and they don’t agree with me xxx
