You need to look into that B6 level a bit. Are you supplementing with something or drinking a lot of protein shakes or? High levels of B6 can cause peripheral neuropathy over time. You shouldn't be getting more than 100mg a day and in reality it should be much much less than that even. Check your supplements.

Crap
I Googled "paraneoplastic" syndromes and kinda freaked out. The Mayo Clinic site said the neurological symptoms develop quickly from this. My symptoms have developed quickly as well. Would a standard lab with Sed Rate and total protein that is normal mean anything? |

The typical cancer triggers are lung cancer and some bone marrow ones. For females, ovarian is often tested for.
If your avatar is indicative of your age, I'd say it would be a rare thing to have for you. Not impossible, but not one of the first things to look for. I think you should get the DNA test for MTHFR mutations. This is more common and up to 30% of people can have it. Poor methylation means B12 and folic acid are not activated in the body, so nerves suffer. Poor B12 functions are often mistaken for MS in the beginning of diagnosis. Next most common is gluten intolerance. Also exposures to vaccines, and certain food intolerances like gluten intolerance. Some people with gluten intolerance show MS like nerve symptoms. Exposure to certain antibiotics in the past -- fluoroquinolones and Flagyl/Tinadmax also cause nerve damage. Look at whatever you are doing when symptoms occurred. And try to change your lifestyle away from that. If it is overuse exercise, minimize that factor. If it is dietary, remove suspected intolerances with an elimination diet. Avoid exposures to chemicals. Avoid alcohol and smoking... smoking contains many toxins and also in males affects the circulation. (peripheral artery disease called PAD) Look to the more common and obvious... the paraneoplastic area is one to look at last.

Thank you!!
I'm 34 year old male don't drink ever and dip snuff. Running actually relieves the symptoms. Resting or later in the day symptoms are worse. The rather sudden onset is what baffles me. If it was some sort of dietary intolerance I would assume I would of had symptoms before age of 34. Thanks for some peace of mind |

Would walking relieve the symptoms as well as running does? Running may be overdoing it. I have a sensory motor neuropathy that is pretty advanced but walking on soft trails does relieve some of the pain. Are you running on a hard surface?
It is very common for neuropathy symptoms to get worse in the evening. Also, about caffeine, I find that it helps me rather than hurts but everyone is different. |

Understanding how the various nerve fibers work, will help you understand your symptoms.
The Alpha Alpha fibers, (see the link I put up for LouLou) have priority and speed to send the impulses to your brain as to where your feet are. So when you run....these fibers have a priority for perception. When you are at rest, the Alpha fibers are not sending much information, so the slower fibers then get thru. http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/cv.html There is also a temperature priority... cold will block heat sensing or burning signals. This is why PNers like cool temps, and use menthol containing products to block burning signals. You are very early in for your PN.... it will take some time for you and your doctors to figure it all for you. They will only go "so far" and you will have to learn the rest yourself. We here can show you where to look and how to search, but in the end the majority of the work is going to be YOURS.
