Hi........
I am wondering what type of auto-immune they know you have ??????
It sounds as though you are in the sam eboat as I am !!!!!! I was just Dx with "LUPUS" which is auto-immune......and of course have terrible neuropathy !!!!!!!!!!!! My feet burn, stabbing pains,numb,tingle, and it looks as tho it might be traveling to hands.
I take neurontin for the PN and my new rheumatologist wants me to start on IMURAN to help stop (hopefully) the lupus which is the cause of the PN.
I am scared of all the drugs !!!!!
Keep in touch!!!!
