Does Mayo Clinic offer any treatment for peripheral neuropathy?

Posted by Lauren Stedman @laurenstedman, 2 days ago

I have seed quite a few doctors regarding my peripheral neuropathy. I would like to know if Mayo Clinic is able to diagnose which type of neuropathy I have and if they offer treatment to at least arrest the progression.
I have been around toxic substances for about 30 years and feel this is the cause of my neuropathy. I would like to know if it is autonomic. (?)

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group.

Hello Lauren @laurenstedman, Mayo Clinic has some information on diagnosis and treatment for autonomic neuropathy but it sounds like you already have a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/autonomic-neuropathy/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20369836.

You might find it helpful to scan through other discussions on autonomic neuropathy to learn what other members have shared - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=autonomic%20neuropathy.

Have you discussed your question with a neurologist or had any additional testing for autonomic neuropathy?

I saw a Dr in the pain management clinic at the Jacksonville clinic. They were very attentive and allowed me to be an active participant in my therapy and medication choices.

Thank god, after a third spinal fusion surgery—my neuropathy is gone.

I wish you the best and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
