I have been reading about Vit D deficiencies and wondering if there may be a connection with my "idiopathic small fiber PN". Although I did have a skin punch biopsy that showed small fiber abnormalities in my hip and ankle. I wonder if this is still a possibility? I do have decreasing bone density in my painful toes. And I'm only 31.
Thanks everybody for the good info. |

--just an opinion, though I like to think it's an informed one--is that Vitamin D deficiency alone will not result in peripheral neuropathy, particularly small-fiber neuropathy, although Vitamin D deficiency may result in calcium malabsorption, and low calcium levels to lead to parasthesas ("strange sensations") in nerve--tingling, stinging and the like.
If one is low in Vitamin D--and one certainly can be, especially in higher latitudes during colder times of the year--a thorough work-up for other vitamin/mineral malabsorption should be done: B12, B6, Calcium, Magnesium--especially if there are neurological symptoms. Some deficiencies of this type--especially of the B-vitamins--can lead to neuropathy, and there is also the possibility of gastrointestinal malabsorption syndromes such as IBS, Crohn's, or celiac/gluten sensitivity. The latter two, inasmuch as they are autoimmune in nature, can result in neuropathy themselves, through antibody cross-reaction with nerve epitopes. |

Greg,get all your vitamin levels checked..... they checked mine but obviously didn't bother with D,they only checked when I went to the doctors for something totally unrelated,it's well worth getting D levels checked... |

Please read this :
www.bruceames.org People all vary in how they utilize nutrients. Drug use can also lower nutrients in the body (this is how many side effects manifest). This new DNA test is almost here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread17913.html We are not all identical in how our bodies function. Vitamin levels are sometimes misleading. They may show only what is in the serum and not what is being used within the cells. The new Vitamin testing involves genetic flaws in vitamin use, and are not affected by what you are taking. I think this new testing is very exciting, and may provide an increased quality of life for many people plagued with vague and idiopathic or hard to diagnose conditions. Most misleading are levels for some of the Bs and magnesium. Right now we don't have long term data on the Vit D issue, but it is looking like we can trust those blood levels so far.

Thanks for the advice Mark and Glenntaj. I have been tested for several deficiencies, but not D. I'll get that knocked out in 2 weeks at my next visit.
Sounds promising Mrs.D. I've always been curious in regards to B12, how serum levels can be the ultimate gauge when it's not the "end of the line", so to speak, of the absoprtion and utilization process. |

I have not read through much of anything in here yet, but have to say that I am hurting like I have not hurt in months...maybe 6? I have changed nothing and have only increased my decreased dilaudid intake. The last two days have resulted in a new 10 on the 1-10...all this in the face of great things going on personally AND with new hope of pain relief though topical mixes from San Ysidro Pharmacy in Santa Barbara, County. Need help. Need D info. Right hand is becoming useless at times (even doing this!?). Would easily trade some finger for a few days p/ mo relief.
Thanks and sorry for the gloom. |
