15 year old
I was 15 years old when I started experiencing numbness in my legs and a few months later pain in both legs.
The pain moved to my hands. A this time they have not found a cause. It is not autoimmune. The mylan sheath coating on the nerves is barely detected. Meaning severe damage.
I tried Gabapentin and it made me very drowsy. Then went on Lyrica which gave me hand tremors. Neither really helped.
I have not been able to attend high school since walking and writing are a problem.
Still searching for relief through acupuncture.
