Idiopathic Neuropathy - Don't all neuropathies have a cause?

Posted by cax75 @cax75, May 4, 2025

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.

Mine is caused from 3 things. I was exposed to Agent Orange and I worked in an Iron Foundry and I developed film back in the days when it was done in chemical trays. Think about any chemicals you have been around. They affect your nerves and muscles.
