    Type 2 Do diabetic neuropathy symptoms come and go? (fluctuating symptoms)

    hi EllieM, yes, he tells me that it may be anxiety because the tests are going well, but I can really feel mild symptoms, I don't know if it has something to do with fine fiber neuropathy and this is just the beginning and little by little it becomes more painful or more serious, that is my fear.

    Anyone else get muscle twitching?

    Hi, i have exactly the same symptoms that you have for more than 1 year. All the doctors told me that I am fine. I have thought that maybe it is my anxiety, but my subconscious tells me that I should act because maybe afterwards it will be too late and it could get worse. Have you had a...
