Some of you who've read my posts will know I suffered really very badly with intense tingling like pins and needles in my feet, legs, hand and arms before diagnosis. The insides of my legs are now totally numb. After diagnosis and eating right and taking Vitamin B and Thiamine that settled down. But this last week or so it's back. Not really intenese like before but the tingling in my feet and hands has started again just very faintly. It doesn't bother me as it's nothing compared to what it was but I'm just worried about any more damage and numbness occurring.
I saw a different doctor the other day as mine was away and I neded to get liver test results (almost back to normal) He said it's unusual for it to go and come back. But reading online I've read many stories of it flaring up again. He said it will never go away and there's nothing they can do and it won't cause me anmore damage and to just live with it. That's not a problem as like I said it's just faint tingling not intense and unbearable like before. I asked again about my numb legs and if I need to see anyone about that. Even to just get a proper diagnosis of nerve damage and he said no.
Has anyone else here had flare ups of their neuropathy. Should I be referred to see somone or is it just something I have to live with. As I sit here now my left foot is faintly tingling. Oh and before the tingling started I had really bad stabbing pains in both legs made worse by lying down. So bad I couldn't sleep and had to stand up. I've had a bit of the stabbing pain again the past few days.
