My question is what tests can you take to find out about neuropathy? I have it l take Gabapentin for it. It works but am concerned about the weight gain. So l just take night and it works but l was taking it three times 600 mg. So that is my new question. Thank

The test is an Electromyography (EMG).

Hi @tonyagann, weight gain can be a problem with many autoimmune diseases. As hard as it may be it does take a combination of lifestyle changes in diet and exercise to help with that. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some good information to help with that on their website here:

Regarding Neuropathy problems the Nerve Conduction Test & Doppler test may be taken so as to find out whether we are having peripheral neuropathy or Ulnar neuropathy problem. I am having Ulnar neuropathy problem which makes my movement difficult. Neurologist didn't prescribe direct medicine. I am taking only Lipitab & Ecosprin. Peg SR. Pl.consult Neuro & take as some medicines may trigger dizziness which I underwent .
