Neuropathy cause by the infusion drug Remicade

Thatnks Gus for responding. Yes it is amazing how these things attack each of us in different ways. I am in an ulcerative colitis group on FB and try and help the young ones diagnosed that join in and just scared out of their minds because of how life altering UC is. It rips your heart out seeing the stories of kids as you as infants that are diagnosed with UC or Chron's. There's so much toxic crap in our food supply these days and personally I think it has a lot to do with people getting digestive diseases.
I was approved for SSA on my first application thanks to having two different Neurologists had the same diagnosis and Physician statements I sent in. All my Doctors are now with Mayo and have been the best! I hope you have the same outcome too.
Take care too!
Brian

Hello Brian,
Thank you for your reply. Our condition is also hell and I am 67 years old and have no idea of what to go for. Between dealing with the condition all alone and the return to work prospects if possible is taking its toll on me. I am not only in the tingling and numbness territory but have also crossed it into the pain and losing my balance often territories. And each symptoms is a territory in itself.
As for sort or long term disability, I'm waiting for the new neurologist to find out the statements she will put out after confirming my diagnoses (neuropathy and radiculopathy). Unkown to all, after two hand and one cervical surgery, my right arm is about to fall off from the pectoralis chest muscle, up to the neck, through the biceps muscle and down to the hand. My right hand was deemed permanently disabled and dysfunctional after having had a 3-hour functional capacity test. So as you can see, I have a lot on my plate with which I am dealing all alone. It's quite difficult to say the least.
Take care and keep up your good work helping others with their UC condition. This will add meaning to your life and will also help you in the long run.
