What I have is Idiopathic Neuropathy, (In some cases, however, even with extensive evaluation, the cause of a person's Peripheral Neuropathy remains unknown - this is called Idiopathic Neuropathy). I was told by my Neurologist that by the time you feel the symptoms the damage is already done and there is no regeneration of the nerves. So it comes down to either deal with it or take some medication. I finally gave in and l am on Gabapentin, What A Difference! Just remember each and every case is different.
