What's ur reason of neuropathy?
 

Hello,

I thought if people here can tell what their neuropathy is linked to it might help direct to a cause in others like me.

Thankyou

Everyone's is different....there are over 100 triggers!

I have posted mine many times, and so have others. You can use the search function to find those posts.

Mine was initially low thyroid functions, and now I have insulin resistance. (and osteoarthritis to cloud the issues more).

Thankyou mrs D you are right about so many triggers.

Don't know what started with me but I think
There is possible autoimmune factor as I have allergies and eczema.
Maybe toxic made it worse as flu shot did make it worse.

Mine is diabetes related but also had a bulging disk in L5S1 that required surgery. I think the sciatic issues that were caused by my back make the neuropathy worse in my left leg and foot than in my right.

Mine was a real easy diagnosis....failed back surgery. Most people find thiers is far more difficult to identify.

Best of luck to all of us!:hug:

Mine is idopathic, which is annoying to say the least. A doc at Johns Hopkins told me that the paralytic drugs that were used in the 80s have been linked to polyneuropathy. I spent 5 days in a coma in 1980 but no symptoms for 28 years is a little bit of a strech.

Mine is idiopathic sensory-motor peripheral neuropathy, I was just diagnosed on July 29th, 2010. By looking at the other posts it can take a long time to find a cause if they ever do. So I am going to keep looking for answers. Good luck!

You have sensory and motor involvement so do you get cramps and or twitching with it.

Thanku

Sometimes cramps in the feet, my toes will cramp sometimes and look distorted. not really twitching of muscles. My legs feel like rubber at times, it's just not a normal feeling and my left knee feels floppy and my ankles feel weak. I have mild tingling and numbness in the feet and occasional sensations about midway up the calf.

Okay thank you Lynn.

It can manifest differently in everyone I guess.

For example my left leg. Inam felling prxhes of numbness to stocking feelin to migrating stabs to in and out crMps to sudden twitching which can be one twitch to like a machine gun goin off. Always feel the twitch coming agterthe severe stabbs. So I have severe twitching too which is not painfull. And they can be in Tiniest fibers like a dot of an area or huge muscles. (now this happens head to toe migrating or All at same time)
