just wow this channel is a true gem, I was so lost with what polyneuropathy actually entailed but with the mechanism of disease flowchart you made it understandable. I have a neurology oral exam in a week so this is just what i need thanks a lot.
Thanks, a nice quick comprehensive breakdown of polyneuropathy. I "might" have Axonal neuropathy, as CIDP has apparantly been ruled out, so now testing for Axonal. Runner's dystonia was also a possible diagnosis but none of the treatments helped, just horrible side-effects.
I didn't realize that hypothyroidism and borrelia ( both of which I've had ) caused axonal disease. And I have a pretty good idea that none of my doctors over the years knew that either.
Interesting video. I have axonal really bad, but it's unknown as to the cause. I don't drink, never did drugs & to my knowledge, don't have the diseases listed in this video. I am in bad shape, though. Severe pain along with numbness at the same time in my legs down to my feet & muscle wasting throughout my body. I'm even getting trouble breathing now at times & it's difficult even taking a shower. I am taking gabpentin & I take 325 to 650mg Tylenol each day.
So sorry for your neuropathy problems, l have just been diagnosed with Polyneuropathy ‘ l have been suffering with this for years and l still have no glue as to what it is , l have had Nerve Conduction test and EMG also an MRI of Spine still nothing but a Polyneuropathy diagnosis and l don’t know what kind , now l am being sent to a Neurologist, l have to take a Gabapentin and 3 extra strength BCs to get going and l am still in pain and flu like symptoms 🙏💜
@@florabraswell-nm1re Hi Flora, sorry for your polyneuropathy. I am afflicted too and was on gabapentin but it was very hit and miss. I started taking Lyrica and vit B12. What a difference! Just thought I would pass it along ❤😊

Thank you for taking time to make this awesome flowchart! Very helpful😊❤

Great summary, thanks. But from what I've read leprosy causes both axonal and demyelinating neuropathy since it also infects Schwann cells,.
Thanks for the informative flow chart.
Thank you for this! It really helped.

And I wonder if chickenpox could cause it too ( got that at age 35 )
You missed CIDP/AIDP. It’s a demyelinating neuropathy.
