Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gabby G" data-source="post: 2688021" data-attributes="member: 586822">Hey there,Grateful to have found this forum! I just need some advice:I’m in my early 30’s and had neuropathy symptoms start in 2017. I first thought it was carpal tunnel. It was stable for a number of years but started to spread in my feet with tingling and it’s now continued to get worse.I have polyneuropathy so it affects a lot of my nerves now including my feet and hands. My left food started to go a bit numb aswell as my right hand with on and off pins and needles.  I’ve had trigeminal nerve pain in my temples and pain in my tongue. The nerve pain seems to change every few weeks.  I also believe my digestive system has been affected as I have acid reflux ( which I never used to have) and troubles with indigestion now. I was diagnosed as prediabetic last year on a Hb1ac of 42 ( which surprised me for my symptoms I thought it would be higher). I changed my diet and started exercising and now it’s down to 37 so I’m no longer in the range. However my symptoms still seem to be there and I really was hoping this would change.My doctor was suggesting it may not be linked but a previous appointment with the neurologist said it’s most likely linked.  I’ve had an MRI done which came back fine. I’m feeling a bit stuck on what to do as I was hoping some of my symptoms would decrease. It’s taking a while to get a referral on the nhs for a neurologist, is it worth looking into anything else. Has anyone had the same experience? My doctor and I are a bit confused about all the symptoms as they said this usually happens with very uncontrolled diabetes.</blockquote>
