I've had a spreading, small fiber neuropathy for six months that has now just about incapacitated me. I've had and am having every test performed I can, seeing multiple neurologists and Pain docs, and, in a way so stupid it astounds me, have never brought up that I had been taking about 150-175mcg a day for a long time. Today I discovered that a symptom of selenium over -dosage is peripheral neuropathy. Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks...

I had been taking selenuim 150mgs for several years, but I never connected my increasing inability to walk to the taking of it but it got so bad that when I was seen by a neuro.doctor I had no reflexes at all in my lower legs and I also had some hair loss, which the doctor said was also related to selenium,I have not taken any for about 6 months and I am very slowly getting better, I do the recommed excercises every day.
I hope this helps you and if you want the excersice regime please let me know
