Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Have you had autoimmune testing? Testing for antibodies against the nerve tissue? Testing for MGUS?

Loss of muscle function and nerve function can be hereditary (Charcot Marie Tooth),which has no treatment, or CIDP, which is treated with IVIG treatments if autoimmune tests positive.

Have you had B12 tests? Do you know the actual number of the result? Doctors call very low levels normal still, and it has been about a decade that the new low is 400pg/ml in US.

There are medications that can cause neuropathies. Statins for cholesterol, and certain antibiotics, and other ones.

Here is a list:
