What can I do to help with this. I am miserable this is in my hands and my feet, I am not diabetic. I am only 51 years old and this has been plaguing me since I was 45. They don't know what's causing it so they are not getting anywhere with this for me. I see the doctors at Ohio State University and they have conducted numerous tests and they just don't show up on the test except for the EMG. I cannot work nor can I drive because of the the debilitating pain. I have every symptom that you've mentioned for the sensory neuropathy in the hands and feet. I also have it in my arms and legs just not as bad. Please tell me what I can do so that I can live my life a little bit better. I cannot hold my new grandson because of this. I do not leave my house except to go to the doctor. I stay in my room in my bed because I'm in so much pain. I cannot do anything to enjoy life any longer. I am begging for somebody to help me.
