Like the title says, did anyone developed weakness/tremors (not twitches, which I have plenty) after having neuropathic pain(burning, tingling) for a few years?

May I ask about some details, was the preceding sensory neuropathy symmetric or unilateral/patchy?
How long before the motor symptoms started and did it eventually improve?

thanks.

My daughter began with the tingling, shooting pains, numbness, and a skin biopsy showing small fiber nerve damage and neuropathy. Months later she had an EMG and Nerve Conduction study showing Demeylinating polyneuropathy.

A few months down the road, she began having twitching, shaking, and eventually full blown myoclonus.

It progressed (for her) into full blown Grand-Mal seizures due to mis-diagnosis of the under-lying case (Which was, obviously, Lyme disease and Co-infections).

Hopefully you're on antibiotics and your disease progression will be halted, or very minimal! [Smile]
