http://www.livestrong.com/article/35677-lyme-neuropathy-symptoms/ I have same problem, but it is lyme disease. Doctors are very ignorant about lyme disease. I would have him take the Western blot test and send it to igenex lab in california to see if he has Lyme. Other Lyme tests are a waste of time. Antibiotics did wonders for me. I have been on them for 5 years because when I stop, the legs go bad again. Other things that help are moist heat, magnesium, and Astaxanthin( found at health food stores.) Lyme specialists are hard to find. I have the name of a good one if you ever find you need him. Praying for you guys...

Lyme should always be an underlying consideration today depending on where you live.

I’ve been treated for Lyme twice but have never had symptoms other than aches, flue like and bulls-eye rash. I know others that have not been treated can have lingering and very serious symptoms. I like being and working in the woods on my property and now I’m always wary using coveralls bloused boots and Permethrin and deet.

Be careful about “Lyme specialists”. I’m not saying there isn’t a possibility of Lyme dz, but there are a LOT of quacks out there. In the medical community they are known as LLDs, “Lyme Literate Docs” and they are not well regarded at all.

Fascinating! I don't remember him complaining about being bitten by a tick, but maybe so. I'll ask. Thanks so much, and many thanks for the prayers.
