SFN? LFN? PN?
Feet? Hands? Arms? Legs?
It is my impression that the treatment and/or meds
is just about all the same.
Unless a Dx of Autonomic PN (usually body-wide) and extreme therapies
such as IVIG are deemed necessary, or from a compression cause - caused by injury, deterioration of bone/joints, or a botched surgery (surgical remedies).
Central nervous system neuropathies are not as common as those
of the Peripheral System, and those can be small fiber (SFN)-
or large fiber (LFN).
A skin punch test can Dx small fiber and is just about
the gold standard test. Treatment is usually either meds, topical,
supplements, PT, and/or diet.
PN caused by diabetes, toxins, (medicines/antibiotics, or exposure to poisons), or any of the over 200 known causes-as well as 'ideopathic' - are treated pretty much similarly- as a chronic condition with no known cure.
These are my impressions, having read about my PN (length dependent- axonal, sensory, polyneuropathy ), for the last 12 years.
Am I out of date?
