I have been diagnosed with generalized sensorimotor polyneuropathy. My neurologist has done a comprehensive workup lots of lab, MRIs of total spine with no answer. I was in Viet Nam some 50 years ago I am wondering if agent orange might be involved. Any one have any experience or thoughts on that?

Welcome @pacarnut, You are not alone with the agent orange neuropathy side effects. Here's a link to comments by other Vietnam vets on the topic - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/comments/?search=agent%20orange%20+neuropathy.

The VA also has a public health article on the topic here
-- Peripheral Neuropathy and Agent Orange: https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/agentorange/conditions/peripheral_neuropathy.asp

Are you being seen by the VA doctors or neurologists?
