Hi Cindy. How did they determine there was a viral antibody present? Do you remember which blood test determined that? Thanks so much. Hope you are doing better.

Hello @gelda, Welcome to Connect. While we wait for @cindy62 to reply to your questions, here's a little more information that may provide an explanation.

"Can viral infection cause neuropathy? - Infections can attack nerve tissues and cause neuropathy. Viruses such as varicella-zoster virus (which causes chicken pox and shingles), West Nile virus, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex target sensory fibers, causing attacks of sharp, lightning-like pain." --- Peripheral Neuropathy Fact Sheet: https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Patient-Caregiver-Education/Fact-Sheets/Peripheral-Neuropathy-Fact-Sheet

Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy?
