I am told that Neuropathy is usually something seen in older people. I am 46 years old. Are there many people out there that are Under 55 with Neuropathy. It's very lonely not having people to talk to about this that understand what you are going through.

I was in my 40s when began to be seriously affected by B12 deficiency damage to my spinal cord.
One of the reasons people go undiagnosed with this condition is the myth that only elderly people are affected by malabsorption. I know people in their twenties and thirties when severely damaged. In some people the symptoms and signs masquerade as peripheral neuropathy until the central nervous system has been damaged and is worsening. rose

started at 46, I'm now 56. So I'm another that doesn't fit the description of this idiopathic thing being a disease of older adults. It only makes me think there was a reason that has never been elucidated.

It is believed to be caused from a Vitamine B6 defeciency. We are trying to get a balance of this Vitamine, but my body seems to be very sensitive. We went from being defecient to Toxic by only taking 50 mg. a day. I am taking 25mg now and will re-test in a few weeks. In the past year and 1/2 My nueropathy has progressed from my toes all the way up my legs and in my hands with pain in my arms at times. Today was the first time I felt burning in my thighs. And all I can do today is cry.
