What’s up with these toe infections?

@dlydailyhope thanks for the input. I have large fiber Idiopathic Axonal sensors-motor Polyneuropathy. Neurologist said it’s not small fiber. Yes, every test was done, EMG and nerve conduction studies, autoimmune, CT scans - the whole nine yards. No PAD or diabetes.

I’ve had ME/CFS for 40 years that was triggered by a severe Epstein Barr infection that damaged my nervous system. My neurologist believes my neuropathy is a result of an autoimmune process caused by the EBV virus.

Your explanation of how nerve damage can cause these infections makes perfect sense.

How did you get diagnosed for ME/CFS? I have a lot of those symptoms and had a really bad case of EBV/mononucleosis when I was 13. I then had it come back 6 months later. Today, I have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy and many spine/spinal cord/nerve root/nerve issues.

How are you currently being treated for your large fiber neuropathy?

Did you have Covid infection and the shots? This affects the nervous system, too.
