    Both are right. No one can predict what will happen with neuropathy. Pains generally get better with treatment but it can take awhile. Welcome to the forum.

    Hi Red, welcome to the group. I hope you will take advantage of the fact that Minnesota has one of the few vasculitis centers in the world--Mayo in Rochester. They will give you the best treatment.

    I'm so glad your numbness is getting better. The prob with Mitch is that one foot is totally dead half-way up his leg. The docs are most concerned about this. They say they can control everything else, but this they're bothered with. He's in 2 case studies and under good care.....
