I'm very new to all of this neurothapy talk. And I just wonder if there are worse forms of neurothapy than others? I know if you don't manage it then it can lead to bad consequences. But I just wonder are all causes and types the same consequences, are there any of them that are reversible, or any that won't result in a disability? I wonder all this because I'm just 26 and graduating college and want to know what to expect. It's a very scary topic but I just want to know what challenges I may be facing or what steps to take to avoid them.

Some are reversible, those with identifiable triggers. Remove those and things get better.

Some you can prevent progression, but not do much for reversal.

Some are hereditary, and no treatment or reversal is possible.

It is very important to be a detective therefore, in your life, and
maybe even keep a journal. What foods eaten, what you did that day, illnesses, stressors, etc.

Some foods are sneaky. They can release histamine and give PN type symptoms. Some like the nightshades...peppers, potatoes, tomatoes contains substances that can cause burning, or tingling. Check out our subforum above, as many informational posts are there. You need to read them in order to ring your memory bells, as to possible triggers.

Even vaccines can be a culprit. Many can cause neuropathies.

I eat all the things you mentioned, in fact my whole situation scares me, because there are many things that are possible but none of the doctors or my neurologist can't give me any answers. I abused alcohol for 4 or 5 years, I live on a farm so there is a possibility for lyme disease. I am not a picky eater so just about any and every food has been eaten, including raw meat(that's the way I eat steaks) raw fish(sushi) etc.. Then on the stressor side, binge drinking in its self brought me more stress that I could ever explain, guilt paranoi, etc. I am a senior in college, with a 2 year old, 5 month old, and on a very small income. So I'm trying to play detective and pinpoint thiings myself, or at least narrow them down greatly before I seek help from another doctor. Sometimes I think my story is so long and complex that most doctors don't have the time to analyze everything I have to say. I'm thankful for this forum, and for having all the people that are on here coming together for us to all try and make our future the best that we can.
