If you are beginning to get symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, this is a wonderful video on the common causes that must be investigated. Peripheral neuropathy involves the feet and/or hands initially, and then spread upwards. These video discusses the diligent evaluation of the common causes of this problem. Many feel it is a sensitivity of the nervous system to common environmental excesses that irritate the nerves. Peripheral neuropathy will present 1/3rd of the time as pain alone, 1/3rd of the time as only numbness, and the remaining 1/3rd of the time a mixture of pain and numbness.
The video reviews common peripheral nerve irritants as areas to investigate and reverse. These irritants include:
deficiency in B12 vitamin,
deficiency in folic acid and thyamine,
chemical exposures,
high glucose levels,
chronic infections (including lyme disease),
alcohol toxicity (more than 1 drink per day??), and
mechanical causes at the foot/ankle/knee/hip/low back.
So many times it is a combination of low grade irritants that lead to symptoms. This is the challenge of trying to diagnosis. But as a patient, these are some of the secrets to easing/treating.
