I posted on here last week about me possibly having P. Neuropathy from a cocaine binge on 8/6/12. When I was drugged up and couldnt breath very well the left side of my body turned to pins and needles for like an hour. During that hour I practiced some breathing exercises I learned in therapy and it went away. I was fine until two weeks later when the toes on my left side began to tingle and it felt like there was a tingling rubber band around them.

A week after the tingling started in my left toes it's starting to go away. I went to my neurologist and I told him everything that happened and he seemed like he didn't want to help me because I took drugs. Now, I'm 28yrs old and I have made a lot of mistakes, but at least before this incident I was clean for four and a half years. I'm in college and everything, but I just messed up and I'm trying to change. My neurologist was like, "well people tell you not to do it so that's why I ususally don't test people who do drugs to help them." now I understand morals and values, but if this is something that can possibly be treated and reversed then help me. I feel like I'm running out of time and I want to get this looked into. Should I just leave out the drug part if I see a new neurologist??????

Yes, you should definitely find a neurologist who will help you and not judge you. Definitely find someone else.

Agreed. And leave the drug part out of it. Just say you had these problems, and you don't know why, but you're worried you might have neuropathy from everything you've read. It's none of their damned business. They'll do the testing, get the information together, and THEN they might ask you if you've done drugs or drank or whatever. Look, I got my neuropathy from a lack of vitamins/malnutrition, and nowhere did they say that the alcohol I drank was directly responsible for it. My liver levels were fine (much to my amazement). Point is that I know that the alcohol caused me to be malnourished, and I'm the only one who really needs to know that. So I quit drinking. So, don't volunteer anything (something you learn along your journey in life) if it's not useful. They will determine what's wrong with your body. Don't throw coke on the fire. I did plenty of that **** too back in the day...

Yeah, but when I do find another neurologist should tell him how it all started? Or lie and say that I woke up and suddenly was in that condition.

Well said, thank you.

Its important to note that the cocaine binge and neuropathy could have been a total coincidance.
