Got Neuropathy, But Not Diabetic? - The Nerve Doctors

My trust in Neurologists as whole is very low. I went in to a Neurologist about a "dead spot" on my right knee, just below the knee cap. You could stick pins into it and I felt nothing. The Neurologist just shrugged. The size was about that of a silver dollar. About a year later I had been driving a long distance in my car. Got very uncomfortable, and pulled over to have my wife pick up the driving. Got out of the car, and my right leg collapsed. And I was in high pain. After the trip, we got home and the pain just did not stop. Went to the doctor and they gave me ct-scan and found that I had a protruding/herniated disc (L5-S1) causing sciatica pain. Stretching and pain medication was minimally effective. About a month of pain later I came down with Bronchitis and was basically in bed for 10 days. That cured the pain, but I was left with Neuropathy in both feet. It continued to very slowly get worse over the years. So, I went to a clinic (famous one) and told them the issue. They did an MRI and said I didn't have anything wrong with L5-S1. I don't have diabetes, haven't had any of the listed meds (at that time, but do now have a statin). No poisons. Not any of the listed thing this doctor mentioned. For me, frankly, I don't think Neurologist's have enough understanding or ability to actually figure things out in the nerve system. (At least that is my experience.)

I had surgery for a herniated disc in 2015, i'm now in the full flow of the sypmtoms of PN. I have started with vitamin supplements, a low carb diet etc, all by doing my own research while waiting for my health providers to see to me again. Thank you for these videos they are helping me keep sane!

I have all different types of neuropathies plus diabetic neuropathy, l am in so much pain every day plus flu symptoms and brain fog caused by a messed up spine being 75 years old now Doctors are not doing much about all my issues and l continue on with a hope and Prayer with no quality of life , l have severe carpal tunnel in both hands but l continue to crochet that draws some of the attention on my pain away plus 😊the stress of the life l have been given , thank you though dear sweet lady for giving all of us these very important and informative videos Gods Blessings to you and yours 🙏❤️🙏💜🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸

Want a cure for neuropathy - quit eating sugary foods for 30 - 60 days and see what happens - it worked for me and it could work for you. I cut out all pies, ice cream, doughnuts, Little Debbies etc... at around 60 days into this sugar free diet(well almost sugar free) and my neuropathy pains went away by 90%. Plus I lost 8 pounds and I feel better and I sleep better and it didn't cost me a dime - it actually saved me money - and the pains are almost totally gone. Thank God. Try it and see.

I fractured an ankle in 2015. That foot never returned to normal. I have numbness, tingling and sensitivity in some areas. Thank God the awful shocks no longer plague me! I don't take meds anymore. I just focus on life and try to ignore the discomfort.

I had burning and pain in my feet, especially at night. I'm now at week four of taking B1 and B complex after looking into thiamine deficiences (which feet pain including tingling and burning is a common symptom of thiamine (B1) deficiencies. My pain has significantly decreased by about 80% so far

Once I got actual treatment for my lower back and stopped spending so much time sitting, all of my symptoms went away. Turns out that I had developed a bunch of impinged nerves in my lower back and pelvis, causing numbness and tingling in my left heel and sciatica with zapping pain in my right leg and hip. Once I got my driving posture correct and started walking and stretching after a chiropractic visit, all was better.

She missed one of the major causes which is vitamin B-12 deficiency. B-12 is required for production of the myelin sheath

I’m going to my neurologist today. You helped me arm myself with information! Thank you

Interesting to discover antibiotics are a culprit. I've recently acquired neuropathy in my right lower leg, and surprised because I don't fit into any of the other categories (have not yet confirmed I'm not diabetic, but it is improbable). I am a physically active 65 yr. old and have exercised all my life - lifting weights, swimming, and hiking. In the past year I discovered my neuropathy while hiking - muscle fatigue and pain in right lower leg and foot. 4 years ago I had a bacterial infection in my right lower leg that developed cellulitis. The doctor hit me with injections and several oral antibiotics, and I took them for a couple months. It killed the infection and I continued hiking shortly after with no noticeable effects. I had a minor suspicion there might be a connection to my previous infection, but I thought it would be a direct result of the infection itself, not the antibiotics. My only other suspicion of a cause is my computer habits - I spend a lot of time at my desk at home using the computer, but I have done that for years - since 1994 - and had a computer job 10-12 hours a day for 13 years, but suffered no ill affects then. Knowing the cause would be helpful in fighting the disease. If it was the antibiotics, then I would not have to have corrective back surgery, or bother trying to alter my computer habits or activities.

was diagnosed in 1999 with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy 1) Chemotherapy - nope 2) statins - nope (although I now take a mild dosage and too much will increase neuropathy pain) 3) calcium channel blocker - nope 4) antibiotics - nope. No antibiotics. 5) alchohol - during the university days 1974-77, yes, but when I got married, I stopped drinking 6) autoimmune - polymialgia rheumatica - got it in 2012, 13 years after getting neuropathy 7) shingle,s HIV, MS - ruled out in 2012 by second diagnosis with a new neurologist 8) Barium - nope, contrast dyes: only since 2000 AFTER neuropathy diagnosis, because of lung embolisms/leg thrombosis. 9) injuries - ??? none immediatelyy before the initial diagnosis. But then again, there's a reason that I was diagnosed with "idiopathic" neuropathy - because in 2012 (13 years after the first diagnosis) my present neurologist and then the Chief neurologist at the state hospital reconfirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic neuropathy, meaning in 3 days of testing, they ruled out any other causes.  I react very sensitively to the statins I take sonce my heart attack in 2018. My cardiologist, the cardiologists in the hospital and my daughter who is a GP all insisted, there was con connection between statins and neuropathy. I'd read the studies both for and against and both sides do not recognise the "work" of the other, even today. HOWEVER, both my neurologist and my GP both told me, that ALL of the known neuropathy patients had their statins histories. I now take Ezetimib/Rosuvstatin-Mepha 10 mg/10 mg M, W, F, So and that keeps the LDL value under control without enflaming my neuropathy pain. I have a "cocktail" as my present neurologist calls it, of empirically tested substances I take without prescription, which on a good day reduce my neuropathy pain substantially. Main substances are: R-Lipoic Acid, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, N-Acetyl Cysteine, Omega 3 (fish oil), Borage Oil 300 mg (GLA = Gamma Linolenic Acid) and magnesium. Other empirically tested effective substances I've tried, which unfortunately either didn't work for me at all or only for a short time and then didn't any more: CBD Oil (without THC), cold pressed CBD oil, B12, Biotin, Vitamin D3. No topical applications have helped whatsoever.

I have been taking your product for two and a half months. I am seeing a reversal of foot pain. Thank you.

Live healthy! No alcohol, no smoking, no medication at all , I don’t drink pop and I eat healthy too . I have a neuropathy at the age of 50 😢

I have never tasted alcohol in my life, never smoke, no diabetes, never taken any of the listed drugs, in fact not on any drugs, but I have neuropathy. The only time I got relief was when I stopped sugar completely and cut down carbohydrates. I’m looking for answers

Thank you for your video. It helps greatly to know the causes and what we need to do to avoid damage to our nerves!

I now have nerve pain, hands arms feet, and legs, my blood sugars are normal.

This was an excellent article. Thank you for sharing this in such a wonderful manner!😸

I am a victim of Cipro. I took ONE SINGLE DOSE as prophylactic protection during a prostate biopsy (negative, I'm happy to say), but within a month, my right shoulder tendons melted down, rendering my right arm useless for all but the most basic movement (to this day). Then the tendons in my left hand started failing and my left thumb is almost useless. After that, I developed horrific neuropathy in my hands and feet, and while the finger pain subsiding after a couple of months, my feet are on fire, all the time, 2 years on. Three doctors just shrugged it all off, but it doesn't even matter because there is nothing that can be done about it, as Cipro damage is permanent.

Thank you for your detailed information.

I got peripheral neuropathy from listening to "doctors" on YouTube.
