Question

Neuropathy:

Peripheral neuropathy, which may become severe or irreversible, has occurred. Fatalities have been reported. Conditions such as renal impairment (creatinine clearance under 60 mL per minute or clinically significant elevated serum creatinine), anemia, diabetes mellitus, electrolyte imbalance, vitamin B deficiency, and debilitating disease may enhance the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy. Patients receiving long-term therapy should be monitored periodically for changes in renal function.


My creatinine levels are always abnormally low.
How can I get proof that this is the cause ? Are doctors even open to the idea ?

Sorry for making this about me, but I didn't want to start a new thread and saw that your topic was about this medication.
Best,
Silver
