Mine was triggered by an antibiotic in the fluroquinlone group called Cipro!!!! This drug has many black box warning’s actually a researcher at Mayo clinic is doing a study on it

Sorry to hear your neuropathy was caused by Cipro. My idiopathic SFPN started more than 20+ years ago and when I finally did get the diagnosis, my neurologist thought it could be hereditary. After doing some research I thought it might possibly have been caused by a statin I took for many years for other issues before my diagnosis and meds changed when my blood pressure diagnosis changed to primary aldosteronism. Then I listened to an 80+ year old neurologist at one of meetings for the Minnesota Neuropathy Association who cheerfully told us that if you live long enough you will get neuropathy as nerve cells eventually die.

I took acetaminophen for a sinus infection don't know. But mine is very severe. I'm diabetic so they say it's from that. But it all happened within 3 months.
