Ideopathic Neuropathy - Doesn't all neuropathies have a cause?

Posted by cax75 @cax75, May 4 9:14pm

For about 20 years I have suffered with IPN in my feet - toes. It has come to my attention that all neuropathies have a cause and we will do better to treat the cause, not just the pain. I am allergic to the standard Gabopentin or Lyrica most often prescribed for the pain. How can we find out the cause of - in my case- the small fiber peripheral neuropathy?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

@mrmacabre sounds bad. I looked it up. Seems no cure. I just understand that when vit B12 is low, nerves become demyelinated from brain to toes. I take
25 micrograms daily. Has your B12 been measured. Good luck

@jamessaxo My doctor tests my blood every year and everything's fine, I've been taking a vitamin B complex supplement for years.

I did read on internet, that alcohol numbs the billions of villi lining our
20 ft long intestine so B12 is not absorbed. But u say u have plenty
because doc did blood test. That is a mystery. I am 83 and gave up all
alcohol 3 months ago.
Go for it.
