Peripheral neuropathy progressing

Hi. I've had symptoms of peripheral neuropathy since 2011, only in my feet (pain, numbness, and pins and needles). But the last two months the numbness in my feet has increased, and the pins and needles have advanced to my calves. In the last two months I also have a new symptom of burning in my feet and calves. Like a really, really burning hot feeling.

Does anyone here have experience with peripheral neuropathy? I'm scared to death.

    Hi @StarryEyed I am sorry you are having to deal with this. I do not have any personal experience of peripheral neuropathy, but the following link might be of interest to you.

    Hi @Bluebell21 and thank you for your compassion and information. It's a really excellent summary by the NHS. I'm aware of all those aspects of the illness in my situation as I've had all the tests and consults and maximum treatments.

    What I'm hoping for is to connect here with someone who has the illness, for peer support. Not that I wish this on anyone, of course.
