Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I have peripheral neuropathy due to untreated pernicious anemia. B12 injections halt PA, but mine was undiagnosed until severe. Therefore nerve damage to peripheral areas will be with me forever. I have other pernicious symptoms also, but the neuropathy was the first. To diagnose PA, a blood test must be done to check the intrinsic factor in the stomach! It is not the common B12 deficiency. I take nothing for the neuropathy. Guys luck with yours. I’d like to see a good chiropractor or osteopath. How to find one?

Hello @pdsi43one -- I have no medical training or background. I do have osteopenia and your question is a good one. How to find a good chiroprator or osteopathic doctor. I really didn't know what a doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) was until I did some research. Mayo Clinic has some good information here:

What kind of doctor is a D.O.? Does a D.O. have the same training as an M.D.?

I found a website associated with The American Osteopathic Association that provides more information and a search function to find a DO in specific locations:

Hope this helps.
