@suetex I had thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed and my right neck dissected. I have had peripheral neuropathy for over 15 years. Finally I am attempting to find out the cause of my neuropathy since idiopathic is not really a diagnosis. I'm wondering if the radioactive iodine that I had to take twice may have caused this or the many treatments I had for breast cancer and the double mastectomy. I had no radiation nor pills for that. Just many many biopsies and lumpectomies until I opted for the mastectomies.
Hope to find a cause soon because now my IBS skirt is making it impossible for any of my swallowed medication to work. Good luck to you and let me know further if you're IV treatment is working. I hope so.
