Avatar m tn Is there any treatment for idiopathic sensory peripherial neuropathy?(non diabetic) Is there any known cause?
Avatar n tn Most people do not experience complications such as neuropathy until long after diabetes is diagnosed, but on some occasions, I have known diabetic people whose first symptom was some complication such as neuropathy or loss of vision. The complications are caused by long periods of elevated glucose readings that damage small blood vessels and/or nerves, and it IS possible for a person who is developing diabetes to live with elevated glucose levels that are not high enough to be critical (i.e.
Avatar n tn Dear Sandy, These symptoms you describe can certainly be caused by diabetic neuropathy. The best defense and treatment for this is to improve the self monitoring of blood glucose, keeping it at normal levels helps prevent the problems. i can sympathize because i have a bit of the neuropathy in my foot and this may be from the fact that at the beginning of my 31 years as a diabetic they didn't control blood glucose as well as they can now.

Work with your doctor for guidance. The most important thing is to slow the progression which means controlling your diabetes. Keeping your numbers in the target range is important for controlling diabetic neuropathy. Gabapentin is a choice and there are others.
Avatar f tn In a diabetic with thyroid disease, numbness in the hands would raise concern for another type of neuropathy: carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve can be injured anywhere along its course. If your symptoms are confined to just your hand, it may be the nerve was injured somewhere at the wrist. The carpal tunnel is the area in the wrist that the median nerve passes through.
488823 tn?1218370567 Agree with Dee Diabetic neuropathy ALWAYS starts in the feet/hands and moves up as it gets worse. In my case I thought I diabetic neuropathy on the inside of my knee. I went to a neurologist and they did tests and an MRI. Bottom line I have pinched nerve in my back causing the problem not diabetic neuropathy. She should see a neurologist.
Avatar n tn What is the cause of your neuropathy? Duloxetine is also a good suggestion for Diabetic neuropathy.
Avatar f tn I have Diabetes, and I am wondering if what I am experiencing is Diabetic nerve pain, but here is how it presents: The first day or so, I get a tingling numbing sensation in my right foot, then it turns to a sharp shooting pain, and gets extremely intolerable within a couple of days, then my foot swells.
Avatar f tn A autoimmune disorder or something. Spelled out (spelling?) Non- diabetic Lumbosacral Rediculoplexus Neuropathy. He prescribed a treatment of an IVIG. I have had two treatments so far. 3-day with 5 hours at a time intravenously. He thought I would see significant improvement by now but it has been very minimal. I am so frustrated because I am almost wheelchair bound. I was very inpependant before and self- sufficient and now I can't even drive or go anywhere by myself.
Avatar n tn This drug, if effective, will give us a treatment for diabetic neuropathy on top of regular sugar control." Bethany Klopfenstein, M.D., a diabetologist at the OHSU Diabetes Center, serves as a co-investigator of the study. Klopfenstein, an assistant professor in the OHSU School of Medicine, said "neuropathy is one of the most disabling complications of diabetes, and also the most difficult to treat.
2021654 tn?1328649960 What kind of treatments are being used to help people with "Proximal Diabetic Neuropathy"? What can one do at home to help make the patient more comfortable? Are there exercise that will help when the patient is bed bound?
Avatar n tn If one is diabetic and has an accident causing trauma, like blunt force, to the foot damaging nerves, is this considered diabetic neuropathy, or can it lead to diabetic neuropathy? A comprehensive foot exam to assess the skin, muscles, bones, circulation, and sensation of the feet is in order. People who cannot sense pressure from a pinprick may have lost protective sensation and are at risk for developing foot sores that may not heal properly. There are other tests the doctor can run.
1493181 tn?1289112267 One thing to note is a Japanese study I read on reversing diabetic neuropathy, that to reverse your neuropathy you have to focus on lowering postprandial [post meal] glucose levels. Lowering fasting blood sugars won't help if your body is experiencing hours of high blood sugars after every meal. The target is <7.83 mmol/l [141 mg/dl] 2-3 hours postprandial, optimum is <6.72 mmol/l [121 mg/dl]. So, yes, you do stand a good chance of reversing your condition back to normal.
Avatar m tn m walking on hot stones and my feet are constantly feeling hot and burning. The condition is called Diabetic Neuropathy where the nerve endings at the bottom of your feet fire off at a much higher rate of speed than normal which causes this burning sensation on the soles of your feet. The swelling around your ankles and feet could be a sign of poor circulation in your legs, as well.
Avatar n tn s difficult to comment, but you have classical symptoms of diabetic neuropathy and require a diabetic screen and an hba1c test.
1283391 tn?1271517988 The localized skin irritation or tingling could be due the paresthesia after diabetic neuropathy. This neuropathy appears as a tingling sensation on skins and appears after long standing diabetes. Another possibility could be any pinched nerve in spine. If you suffer continuous tingling sensation on skin of leg, please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away who will evaluate the possibilities here and can provide you an appropriate treatment.
1527789 tn?1324925160 Polyendocrine also goes by names of APS, and is subdivided into types I, II and more. It's a catchall to designate endocrine disorders they often find together, but it's not a pure 'cause and effect' . In other words, diabetes doesn't cause addison's. Addison's doesn't cause diabetes. What they have in common is autoimmune disorders.
Avatar m tn It may be possible to reverse diabetic neuropathy if blood sugars can be brought down to normal range (about 80 - 120 would be optimal target). hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Anyone suffering from this too? Wondering if anyone had any tips on ways to relieve it. I'm also a Type 1 diabetic. I have managed to avoid neuropathy (a complication of diabetes) for 20 years and then it turns out to be a side effect of chemo! Just had my 3rd treatment (out of 6) of Carboplatin and taxol. The neuropathy in both hands and feet seems to get worse with every treatment. The feet are worse though. Tips or commiseration are welcome.
851294 tn?1239015716 A singular, isolated seizure can indicate anything from low blood sugar to idiopathic epilepsy and should never be medicated for at home until a veterinarian has examined the dog and has given his opinion on what the cause was and whether or not treatment is even necessary. Just hang in there until the vet is open and call the office as soon as you can. Please post back and let us know what the vet said.
