“I do not believe medications cause PN.“
May I inquire why you don't believe medication induced Neuropathy is possible?
Epilepsy is my Nemesis so most of my experiences are Epilepsy related.
There is too much evidence suggesting medications can cause Neuropathy. Also the severity of a particular disorder which in my case are seizures must be considered. I have been in numerous comes because of Status Epilepticus where the patient is put into an induced coma and I believe those may also have contributed to my neuropathy because of my immobility which my longest one lasted 8 months and cumulatively lasted 3 1/2 years. There have also been studies conducted suggesting comas and neuropathy. Drug toxicity should also be taken into account.

Apologies for my generalisation comment. When I discussed my PN with my GP, (About 4 years ago), who ordered all the usual blood tests etc., he did mention some detail about Chemo drugs, which did not apply in my case.
