I have celiac disease and was suffering malabsorption--I wasn't yet gluten free when my carpal tunnel was diagnosed at 43 yrs old. Wasn't very long after that when my toes all went numb, the doctor told me it was the same nerve as my hands.
Now, a neurologist is telling me he doesn't think it is neuropathy, even though another doc has diagnosed it. I guess, soon we will know--testing in the next 2 weeks.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
