So I moved her up to oral magnesium (SlowMag), and natural vitamin E to improve her blood flow, and she reversed almost 100%. She had some purple cast now and then, but for the most part her hands were much more normal.
When circulation gets this poor the nerve ending can die off from lack of glucose and oxygen and from the build up of toxins from energy metabolism of the tissues.
So poor circulation from ANY cause is a prime candidate for PN in the hands and feet IMO.

I will try the natural Vitamin E. for the skin My neuropathy is not only in distal part like hands and feet, and I do not have the dicoloration of fingers, The neuropathy is all over, scalp,face, mouth lips an mucous membrane. That is why I am pushing the doctors to find out.
