I have non-diabetic neuropathy also. My neurologist says it's from long-time alcohol abuse (currently in recovery). There here well could be a vascular/arterial component to it also. Have u have Doppler ultrasounds done on your legs? Worth looking into. I am a nurse and do a lot of research on my own. You have to be your own advocate. Good luck. U shouldn't have to suffer. Referrals to neurologist and/or vascular (vein) specialists may be helpful also.

Hi @debrn2005

Thank you for your response. I haven't got the ultrasound done on my legs yet. However, my neuropathy is on 4 extremities, do you think that vascular disorder on the legs can cause that (both hands and feet, not just feet)?

You said that you're a nurse. Are you still working? I'm so worried that this disease will force me to quit. I have two young kids and I'm the bread earner in the family, sigh
