RE: re: perphrial neuropathy

[Guest guest]

I'm confused about this, . You said that a neurologist told you that

your nerves are fine, but you have peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy is

defined as damage to nerves. Peripheral just means that it is your

peripheral extremities (arms, hands, feet and legs) I believe. This would

not account for the burning/tingling sensations along your spine.

I know it's all very confusing, particularly when we have more than one

disease or illness. I also have several herniated discs.

I think you need a clear clarification of the neuropathy. Did you have the

nerve function test (EMG, I think it's called)? If you've had it, you'll

remember since it can be painful - needles stuck in your leg or arm.

Hi Stella,

I found the post and remember reading it. I have the burning and tingling in

my back along my spine when I stand for more than 10 mins but my hands and

feet are just numb. It's hard to explain. I also noticed that my legs are

getting numb when my husband was scratching my thigh and I could not feel it

very well. I was told by a neurologist that my nerves are fine and it's

peripheral (sorry, I know I'm spelling it wrong) neuropathy and talked about

a med for it but then that was all I heard about. What other auto immunes

does your daughter have. I have Celiac Disease and the rheumy's first

thought is it is all related to that and that I am not responding completely

to the diet. I'm still waiting for test results to come back to get a course

of action from him. I really don't know where to go from here. I know my

internist is going to send me to a surgeon because I have 2 bulging disks in

my lower back and maybe that is it but the report says they are not pinching

any nerves and it does not explain the hands and those were the first things

to go numb. Sorry, I know I'm not being any help to you.

Boy, I know what you mean when you say " zingers " since I have peripheral

neuropathy.

What dose are you talking about with B6?

I just looked at Centrum Silver and it provides 3 mg or 150% of the DV.

Interestingly, I Googled B6 and found... " Sensory neuropathy has occurred

from high intakes of supplemental forms " so this would go directly against

what you are suggesting.

BUT..it also says " The classic clinical syndrome for B6 deficiency

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyridoxine_deficiency> is a seborrheic

dermatitis-like eruption, atrophic glossitis with ulceration, angular

cheilitis, conjunctivitis, intertrigo, and neurologic symptoms of

somnolence, confusion, and neuropathy.[5]

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B6#cite_note-4#cite_note-4>

Talk about confusing..but confusion is a sign of deficiency!!!

I have an Unlar nerve leasion that causes it. I take b-6.It helps

with nerve function. I haven't had any " zingers " - what I call them -

since I started taking it. Docs say I need surgery....but so far I

have had no pain or numbness or zingers, so I don't think I am going

that direction anytime soon.

I don't think it could hurt anyone to try it. I noticed that it

worked when I started back drinking redbulls. Now I take it as an

injection. But you can take it as pill form also, no Rx needed.

> I'm sure I spelled that wrong. Anyways I have this bad in my hands

and feet and it's moving up my legs. What do you all take to help

this. My understanding is the only way to stop it is to find what is

wrong with me and help that, is that true? I'm really concerned about

permanent damage.
