I was using a lot of Fixodent when I first got neuropathy symptoms but I don't know if that contributed to it. I was taking a medium level dose of Norvasc blood pressure med and eating tons of grapefruit which inhibits the enzyme that metabolizes it (the literature said it didn't do that with Norvasc at the time, now I read it does) and neuropathy is listed as a possible side effect of that med. I also have increased symptoms consistently from my COPD meds so if the Fixodent contributed but there is no way to know.

I don't think I ever had my zinc levels tested but was a little low on iron on and off. I was also taking a multivitamin with zinc.
