Why do my symptoms and pain seem to come and go?

Wow, I sure wish I knew, but EVERY neuropathy patient has had this experience. Be assured, It is not psychosomatic.

Neurologists confirm that there are acute neuropathies that come on suddenly and then the symptoms disappear. In other neuropathies symptoms occur, disappear and then return at the same level. Other neuropathies occur, disappear and then return at increased levels and in more places of the body. Others come, go and then go away for years only to return with a vengeance! The chronic neuropathies and polyneuropathy are often referred to as progressive polyneuropathies. The mystery is increased as there seems to be no rhyme or reason for these patterns. The only thing I noticed is that when I increased activity, I have increased burning and I would guess that this was due to making damaged nerves work. I am sure that there might be some very brilliant doctor out there who has some clue as to why this is true and if I find out I will post it in patient language.

Coming and going (remitting and relapsing) of symptoms with a neuropathy is a medically confirmed fact. Better recognized, the same is true of the symptoms of some forms of MS! You are not crazy.
