Hmmm. I'm really hoping it's just the carpal tunnel thing. My mom was diabetic for thirty someodd years before she started having troubles with peripheral neuropathy. My father started getting it within a year. I always figured that's because his diabetes was caused by acute pancreatitis caused by years of drinking. It wasn't pretty. He was pretty much immobilized right away.
I'll go get the B vitamins today and have already started the ibuprofin. It's really interfering with my work, and I can't afford that right now.
When I made my doctor's appointment, the nurse said they'd probably do a complete nerve conduction test, probably because of my diabetes and the fact that I ducked the one for my feet she figured she could say that with all confidence. :)
I've got my fingers crossed. My left fingers at least. lol.
