Struggling with Neuropathy?

Neuropathy -- A painful word for those who have it and a blessing to those that don’t even know what it is.

Neuropathy is the pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness caused by nerve damage or dysfunction. The cause of the damage or dysfunction can be hereditary, illness, medication side effects or physical injury. An estimated 30% of people who are diabetic, have received chemotherapy, or have an autoimmune disease are likely to develop a form of neuropathy. Pain sensations range from numbness and pins and needles tingling to lightning sharp or burning pain to loss of coordination.

If the neuropathy is caused by diabetes or an infection you may be prescribed a medication to help relieve pain in your peripheral nervous system and potentially cure the cause of the pain and relieve symptoms.

However, if the neuropathy is caused by chemo treatment, physical trauma, or medicinal side-effects, you may be prescribed pain medication and or physical therapy to control the pain.

We’ve all seen the commercials where the list of side-effects is longer than what the medication helps to alleviate.

Why would you want to put something in your body that may help but may also give you so many more side-effects to deal with than just Neuropathy?
