Why do I have all symptoms of neuropathy but Dr can not detect it

Posted by queeniep69 @queeniep69, Jan 19 3:15pm

I had chemotherapy in 2023 after all treatments soon afterwards I have tingling, numbness in toes, feels like frostbite. painful to walk, constant foot cramps and legs cramps, burning sensation in legs and arms. Tingling and numbness in fingers and hands and also cramps. Can hardly write. Saw a neurologist and had EMG tests and results were neuropathy non detection. How is this so I am not making up my pains they are constant . I do not have diabetes. I have scheduled to get a 2nd opinion.

I was diagnosed from a Functional md with non supplemental B6 toxicity which causes similiar symptoms. Including other neurological issues. Found out I did not methylate because of MThFR.
Had no luck with diagnoses from traditional labs.
Insurance didn’t cover the test deeming it unnecessary but it what finally diagnosed me.
Waiting to hear treatment plan.

vitamin B6 Plasma.
Was hesitant to run this test because it was expensive $395.
Glad I did.

I understand completely. I have severe neuropathy for about 10 years. And I have been to many. The doctors and there’s no cure for it. I’m sorry I live in Florida so go and see what you can find out. If you can find out something that will help you please pass it on because I am desperate also for it I’ve tried so many things.

@joannoyster12 I also have neuropathy. I’ve had it for 10 years. It is very hurtful. I cannot find any cure for it. I’ve been to several doctors. I’ve tried so many things to get rid of this or at least just to help me if you can find out something, please pass it on thank you.
