Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I had a good appointment today with the neurologist. The ENT doctors recommended that I talk with him about the issues I went to them for. I'm going to have more tests that could tell me if other problems I'm having are connected with neuropathy. Then we can figure out if we just treat the symptoms or if something can be done to treat the underlying cause. Some of the problems are numbness and aching in my hands, occasional dizziness with a loud buzzing, swallowing, esophageal dysmotility, urinary issues, ED, tripping, balance... We'll see.

@jimhd We appreciate the update, Jim. I'm wishing you well and continue to pray for you. Your sharing is so helpful to our group.

@jimhd All of your symptoms might be connected to small fiber polyneuropathy. I suggest that you go online to www. Neuropathycommons.org and read about the research being done by Dr. Louise Oaklander. Good luck!
Thanks for the information. I just saw the neurologist this week, and he's ordered tests to see if what I have is small fiber neuropathy, and also if it's autonomic neuropathy. I should have some answers in a few weeks.

I had neuropathy for two years, experimented with turmeric(still use today) effective; and two years of communication with new friends in Philippines(on e mail)...effective. Yes, visit with ER and Neurologist, did not find a mass but the Neurologist did a full assessment, re assessed my MRI and wisely alerted me, "if chronic headaches", see me again. This visit with neurologist was in relation to the dizziness that emerged two years ago, seems similar to my bout with neuropathy. I believe in wise use of alternative and conventional medicine, so far, effective. JIM>>>
