Hi there.... I have become slightly puzzled....
I have Bells Palsy on the left side of my face, as well as Neuropathy in both arms. (dx confirmed with EMG), but with my neuropathies, I am not in pain... actually, my trouble is loss of feeling, weakenss, loss of use and so forth. I see alot of people on the board who talk of the constant pain they are in, but in my case it is a lack of sensation, I have trouble telling cold from hot, I have very little 'recognition' of where my fingers are when typing and cannot even feel them touching the keys, I have to watch them to make sure that I hit the right keys.
Are most with Neuropathy having the type that causes pain? I am on nothing at all for mine, no meds... I didn't know that meds were needed or could help, are they just for the type of Neuropathy that causes pain?
Can anyone help me with this?

Hi peny
May I suggest that you go to the below link and register on the peripheral neuropathy panel.
There are a lot of experts there who I am sure will be pleased to give you advice.
