neuropathy has stopped my life without me realizing it

I am a 25 yr old career mother and wife. I have 3 wonderful children and a amazing husband. About a month ago i was driving down the road and both my legs went numb I thank god my brother was in the vehicle at the time to help me stop it and pull to the side of the road.

So I went to my doctor and told him and he looked at me like I was a liar because he already has me on a mass amount of medications for severe degerative [degenerative] disc disease in my lower back finally after pushing the issue he sent me for a EMG and the results came back that I have neurpothy [neuropathy] and it is getting worse anyone who has had the test done should know that if ya dont feel the needles go in and the shocks there is soemthing wrong ..

Now it has come to the point I cant even get out of bed in the morning to tend to my children or take care of house hold duties… I am in pain all the time and the pain meds dont work just put me to sleep for a short period of time.. And now my mother inlaw is moving in to help care for me and the kids while my husband works. If anyone knows anything that might help me get back on my feet please let me know.. I am way to young to drop out of the playing field now… Thanks and good luck to all…
