Chronic Pain

[Thatstasty]

After having been diagnosed with idiopathic progressive polyneuropothy and taking pain medication, what's next? Can the pain ever be controlled?

Hi, I am sorry that you have Polyneuropathy. I have read a little about it because my neuro thought at first that it was what I have, but the neg. EMG ruled that out. I know that it often starts because of diabetes or some kind of poisoning (like alcohol poisoning and more) I was also looking into if poisoning mold could cause it, but I´m not sure.

So from what I read, I thought if I had this, I could try to avoid the things that make me sick and then I would get some relief. Is that not the case? Do you have other symptoms than pain? Do you take neurontin? I sure hope you can get some relief.

My best,
Dagun

Have you experienced this type of diagnoses may I ask? If so, for how long and how do you cope?

your medication will try and ease your pain but the chronic pain is always there , its no joke chronic pain being sore all the time .
