Anyone experience amiodarone induced neuropathy?

I was reviewing Jim's journal from after his final ablation and being diagnosed amiodarone. I read this morning how much he complained about the terrible peripheral neuropathy when he was on the medication. We had to argue with the doctor's staff about discontinuing it. They finally agreed that with the neuropathy and rash, the amio was contraindicated without question. It seems you have to stand up for yourself just shy of being confrontational.

@tarmansbks - I think you hit the nail on the head so to speak. It is really important to be your own advocate when it comes to your health. I've also found when you have a health issue and an upcoming appointment with your doctor, it is helpful to plan your conversion and go to your appointment prepared bringing along your companion if needed. Here's a website with some tips and cards you can print out that you might find helpful.
