Sir I am Venki. I would like to share that as soon as doctors see my MRI scan they tell ' Nothing to worry'. As I am having CSVD they tell that its common as most of the elderly people will be having CSVD. But the Brain shrinkage, CSVD, Ulnar Neuropathy has made my life problamatic. I am not fresh during morning hours. Doctors have not specifically given any medicine for Ulnar neuropathuy. Only Ecopsprin, Lipitab & Peg SR I am presentely taking. They don't give importance to the brain shrinkage and other neurological problems in India. As I visited some neurologists India has to develop in these fields. Expecting specific medicines for these. Thanks.

Hello @venki, I am not sure there are specific medicines for Ulnar neuropathy. I have no medical training or background and like you was looking for specific medicine to treat my neuropathy. What I found out through all my searching was that there is no one answer for everyone. What works for one person may or may not work for someone else. Most drugs for neuropathy fix nothing but instead they block pain signals to the brain so that you don't feel it. The downside of the drugs is that eventually you have to take more and more of it and they all have side effects that can be worse than the pain. Since I only have numbness with my neuropathy, I was really depressed when my neurologist diagnosed me with idiopathic small fiber neuropathy and then told me there are no drugs or topical creams, oils or other products that will get rid of the numbness. This was why I joined Connect and started my own searching into something that works for me.

I had never heard of brain shrinkage before I read your post so I did some reading and found an interesting article - Brain shrinkage in multiple sclerosis associated with leaked protein in blood - http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/newsandeventspggrp/imperialcollege/newssummary/news_13-12-2016-15-2-44

I hope you keep searching for something that will work for you.
