I’m back - final update on journey

Hi all

This has been such a long journey. It’s been around 15 years since I started it, and I think I’ve been a member here for 10 years now.

I finally have a diagnosis: small fibre neuropathy. Unfortunately it is progressive, & there is no treatment, unless you can find a cause. Of course, I have to be in the 50% of suffers who don’t have a known cause.

It’s a life of unrelenting pain, but I’d already come to terms with that. In fact, it was people on here who gave me the best advice - always have something to look forward to, & fill your life with as much joy as possible. Thankfully the FND (‘it’s your software not your hardware’) diagnosis has been removed. I just wish there was some comeback for the lazy neurologist who made the diagnosis.

Wishing you all well on your journeys. Hope they’re not as long as mine.

Best of luck, Paula.

Hi Paula, glad to hear it sounds like the diagnosis has offered some answers. You’re very right, always good to have at least one thing to be looking forward to! Thanks for keeping us posted and wishing you all the best :heart:
