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.)
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
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
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!
So happy we can help. 💖
I've seen multiple doctors who want to perform surgery on my back. The only problem is this. None of them have said what the procedure is going to be. What they're planning on doing to me and my back. I find that pretty scary.
The one doctor who said "Don't have it done" is the surgeon who operated on my neck for four hours. So, I'm going with the back surgeon who said no don't do it. I'll do chiropractic, diet, and whatever. I don't need even more pain with bad back surgery.
Exactly

@@rodgerrodger1839 I have had four neurosurgeons Tell me that I am in operable. Severe stenosis in C4,5 and six. Mostly osteophyte overgrowth. One told me to seek alternative complimentary care. So with diet, movement, supplements, cbg, thc edibles, and kratom i have a handle on pain but weakness and coordination continue.
So glad I found and listened to your video. Yes,, I found it extremely helpful.... You gave me so much understanding. I am grateful. Thank you.
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'm so glad Your channel came up on my YT page everything makes so much more sence now. A few in the list you mentioned I have. I will be watching other videos you have.
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 🙏❤️🙏💜🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
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
That's great! It has helped us too.
Try taking 3000mcg of B12 per day and you might just get rid of it! It really helps me!
That is correct! Studies have shown that the therapeutic dosage of B12 for nerve repair is 1000-3000mcg daily! Keep up the great work!
@@jamesmondok8635 thanks, I’m going to order the Andrew less man B12 today
R-LIPOIC ACID STABILIZED and ALA research 😊
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.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 your extensive knowledge, content and delivery has helped me so much. I've been prescribed 2 of the antibiotics you mentioned and since experienced legs and arms muscle weakness, burning foot, cramps and numbness. I'm hoping I can heal and fully recover 🙏🏻 so grateful for your video ❤
I was prescribed an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection in that family even though i already had issues with peripheral neuropathy. I took one pill and immediately requested a different antibiotic, It made me feel so sick. Always research and advocate for your own health.
I have been taking your product for two and a half months. I am seeing a reversal of foot pain. Thank you.
This was an excellent article. Thank you for sharing this in such a wonderful manner!😸
Thank you!
I have neuropathy from having initially Cauda Equina from severely slipped discs in lumbar spine, then had several revision surgeries, have a Spinal cord stimulator, then to top things off I slipped the c5-c6 had acdf surgery had bone spurs removed, had moderate stenosis. Now have severe stenosis of the lumbar spine, which has really impacted my mobility, now need laminectomy.
Thank you for your detailed information.
I was previously on amlodipine besylate for many years for my heart. In 2010, I contracted a horrible case of near fatal MRSA infection following hip replacement surgery and I was put on Levaquin for 6 months and Vancomycin in the hospital. I now have peripheral neuropathy without diabetes
Same for me today I felt more been taking NAC & Natto- Serra.
Fantastic information. Thank you SO much!
Thank you for this video. I get a bolt of lighting type of jolt, from time to time, from my left foot to the left side of my head that lasts for 2 to 4 seconds about once a week or so. I never had that before I got Shingles of the left cranial nerve and suffered 5 weeks of total paralysis to the left side of my face, but now I get those lightning bolt jolts. Must be from the Shingles infection of the left cranial nerve.
Thank you for your video I think I developed these condition after chemotherapy.
Keep spreading the good news and show love while you are telling the good news
After surgery, too, so right!
My son in law has CIDP from chemo, he also got AVN leading to bilateral hip and shoulder replacement surgery.
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.
How'd you get driving posture fix
@jonathandaviss5327 heh... I had to change an entire vehicle from a sedan to a minivan for starters. Sedans are not made for tall people over 6 feet. In a minivan I can sit without hunching over, straightened my posture and spine.
I had most of my pancreas removed several years ago. I'm not diabetic but my fasting blood sugar runs slightly higher than optimum 100-120. I developed neuropathy that was as bad as if I was very diabetic. Couldn't figure it out, saw several doctors and no answers. I found out about Thiamine deficiency causing nerve issues and started taking it a couple months ago. symptoms are getting better so I hope it continues.
Crystal Clear! That's how you explain all things
Thanks so much, James
Some of those you mention (of so called medicines, household chem...) were listed in a book as lowering Calcium APTase (puts calcium away after cell doesnt need it). Calcium connection by B Broady. So calcium is needed but only in amount needed. Have PN and wondered if a mineral inbalance, also note it gets worse after get up to urinate at night.
Got scary bad leg/arm nerve/brain symptoms after finding on scalp a tick carrying Borrelia sp, put on Doxycycline & then 3 months later Amoxicillin. Still dealing with constant weak, achy arms/legs, twitchy muscles, pins & needles progressing to having difficulty walking - 8 months since tick. Feels light wearing high heeled boots 2 sizes too small & trying to run a marathon in them. Now switching Amlodipine BP med that I have been on for 2 years to Lorsortan, taking mega B vitamins, & soon doing infrared light therapy 4× week & pool exercises....anything to stop this nightmare. Have to wait another 6 months to see referral neuromuscular Dr & rheumatologist because that's how booked up they are. Used to pray to get my old life back...now praying to stop symptoms from getting worse & putting me in a wheelchair or bedridden for the rest of my life.
Dear Doctor, which of the Vitamins can cause hot flushes? I am in Holland but could not buy your Neuropathy treatment. I take all the ingredients separate during the day. Thank you for your fantastic advice. Love it
I’m going to go check out my blood pressure medicine and see if any of them have caused Nuerapathy in my lower left leg
Thanks doc 😇 for your content very informative. God bless 🙏🏻👍🏻
Wow! I thank I have Peripheral Damage I have a lot of Pain , Thank you😇
Thanks for the education and medical info. You are a blessing...btw...You have beautiful hair and you wear it well :)
Chemotherapy in 2011-12 neuropathy has gotten worse in my feet over the years since the treatments. It wasn’t as bad after the first 6 months to a year after the treatment then got worse as each year has passed.
I have Celiacs from being 38% Scandinavian. I take Natures Way Stinging Nettles capsules 2 in the morning and two maybe half hour before beer, pizza, wheat products. San Luis sourdough bread doesn't make me react. Great to have a bread not to worry about eating...
Getting ready to order my third mont of the nerve meds and second of the vitamins haven't noticed anything yet.
You've got that so right about bariatic problems being a cause!!
Excellent analysis
Excellent lecture. I love that you explain the why and how of the subject matter. I have a respiratory, oxygen, pharmaceutical background and I can tell you put an enormous amount of time researching this and then condensing into the time frame. You are spot on about the contrast dyes causing nerve damage and kidney damage and I commend you for bringing this truth to light that is hidden by the mainstream medical cartels that lie and tell people that contrast dye is safe when it's just the opposite. Thank you for an eyebrow raising subject. You and Sten Eckerg are the global masters at explanatory details which is what counts.
Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. You are correct, both Dr Coppola and I put an ENORMOUS amount of time into the research that we do because we want to make sure if people are depending upon us, we're giving them the most accurate information. Thank you for acknowledging that. It's truly appreciated. Blessings.
@@NerveDoctors you are welcome and thank you for bringing to light the dangers that are covered up and promoted by mainstream medical industry
Mine started I was diagnosed with Brain AVM,Chronic fatigue and migraine and dizzy and got a mini stroke and seizures started
The general practitioners are taught not to think about malabsorption of vitamins and minerals. I started taking D3, calcium and B12. All my problems with coordination, muscle spasms, and pain.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome around 2 years ago went numb from the ground coming up stopped when it got to my rib cage my knees would just give out got to the point i was stuck on my parents couch been a long climb back my feet still mostly feel like they are wrapped in saran wrap its not painful for long thankfully and i can walk somewhat quite well now socks help so much.Its felt like i was only upper torso and rib cage down was a ghost for along time that i could control but not feel and not so trust and then those nerves started up.
I don"t have perfect blood sugar-A1c(5.9) but I am very careful with my diet.I have Charcot Marie Tooth disease,Which I"m told is my main problem with neuropathy.
Good video, to the point with some hard information.
George420 So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I have it after many years of fibromyalgia. It was just diagnosed days ago. No diabetes...
I always say I am allergic to fluoroquinolones. I was dozen levoquin many many times in the past for sinus infections and bronchitis. I developed severe pain and weakness in both wrists. I have severe PN now years later. However, I have very low B12 and D3 and this probably actually caused it.
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.
My mum has very bad neuropathy from an autoimmune condition called NMOSD. She is in a lot of pain from even skin contact with cloth
Interesting! I’m not diabetic but do take BP meds and just starting to get neuropathy.
Don't drink alcohol I don't take any of those medications but I still have it
Can be a vitamin deficiency yoo
I don't have a vitamin deficiency either, but have it too.
Same here…I suspect that they pushed me too hard in physical therapy three days after scoliosis surgery (such as high kicks with 10-pound weights on my ankles)….😡….but the neurosurgeon insists he told them to do that😱
Me too!
Diet
Yes you are right after the booster terrible nerve pain began
Much of this tells me nothing unless I know whether the various causes of PN will last weeks, months, years, or forever. Without more context, this is not real helpful. (but still appreciated!)
Ive only had small doses of Cipro, and Lavaquin.
As for all the others, I'm clear.
I did sprain my ankle when first experiencing Morton's Neuroma. This sprain has never fully healed...
Keto diet is helping.
Bingo, Lyme in 80’s without diagnosis. Only 7 years later while 8 months pregnant, landed in the hospital with pneumonia. They gave me IV Bioxin to save my life. Got rid of spirocete, saved baby and me, but nerve damage was already done. Many issues since.
What about Flouride everyone is forced daily to ingest not to mention products loaded with it?
She didn't mention hereditary neuropathy. I developed foot neuropathy when 64 first starting out as partial numb feet which then started hurting 5-6 years later. My mom had numb feet which I only discovered in last 2 years of her life. But her neuropathy didn't cause pain. My dentist's mom has painful feet neuropathy at night, and her mother also had it.
I now have nerve pain, hands arms feet, and legs, my blood sugars are normal.
Eye opening video
I think I got my PN from inhaling volatile organic compounds when I spray painted a lot of military vehicles back in 1982. I didn’t use a respirator or any personal protective equipment.
I'm surprised you didn't include degenerative disc disease as a cause of PN. As the discs in my cervical spine degenerted, my spinal cord was compressed for a long period of time, leading to PN in on the entire left side of my body. Still, I appreciate what you are doing here and will definitely subscribe and explore your other videos!
Similar for me - I am in the midst of all kinds of tests. My entire right side is becoming weaker and my fingers no longer grip and I can barely lift my right arm. I have not taken any of those drugs. I have a lot of disc degeneration. I hope I can get this solved!
It’s no mystery how I got it. Just completed my first course of chemo.
I got it after disc 3/4 collapsed into spinal canal , i got 90% of movement back of right leg but now suffer from pn
Got PN from Ciprofloxcin (Cipro Toxicity) when administered the 'black box' label drug for a sepsis infection. Their excuse was it took too long for the blood test to identify the actual infecting bacteria. It took me three years to figure out my problem. The hospital neurologist said it was carpel tunnel (in both hands and then both feet?) . . . and no neurologist will even do a consult because then they will have to file an Adverse Reaction Report.
I'm so sorry.
I got peripheral neuropathy from listening to "doctors" on TH-cam.
I had that tested after I was diagnosed.
What about increasing or taking a NO progenitor? i.e. beet root powder, juicing beets, etc.
What about Quetiapine, 50mg.? Is that hurting me, too?! Mine is caused from my spine problems (Disk Degeneration in Lower Lumbar & Neck) Thanks for all this info. You are THE only person who is giving us HOPE... having major Neuropathy in both legs & feet, as well as my left arm and hand. I'll be following you, girl. I stopped taking my Cholesterol Rx as of today. Thanks again ~Houston Kat
I took statins for about two months and they made me want to kill people. My dr took me straight off them and put me on something else. Having googled the side effects it said can cause pain so I stopped taking it. Some of the pain went
Look at the lower back as well.
Treat alignnent there and inflammation .
Accupuncture helps .
I have Peripheral nerve damage in my feet and lower legs. Dr said it’s idiopathic in my case as there is no known cause ,so he has me on Alpha Lipoic Acid but I didn’t get the R now I will order it! Thank you
I think mine was caused by being on my feet as a nurse in the hospital for 25 years.
Idiopathic means your doctor does not know the cause. Doesn't mean that there isn't a cause. We specializing in identifying and treating the underlying causes of peripheral neuropathy. Feel free to visit Nuphoria.com for more information.
@@NerveDoctorsi have imnm , would r ala help me ? Thanks
I'm had over 90 MIRs since 1990.
I had a bit of neuropathy due to Type one diabetes but during chemotherapy for cancer, the neuropathy got Much worse and covered a much larger area. Talking to my haematologist about this, she said it was due to one particular chemical, the red stuff.
The dr said because I had lymphoma I did not need that particular drug and took it out of the line up. She never told me why it was ever part of the regime.
It is used in large amounts to women with b east cancer and they often have really bad neuropathy.
It seems mine was caused by too much B6 in supplements...when my neurologist mentioned this and when I added up the RMD % for B6 in all the supplements I was taking it was over 1000%. You didn't mention this but I think it could be more common that otherwise thought.
I have pn because l am a paraplegic also have kidney disease. And severe np after my right leg got amputated.
Thank you, Doctor!
You are excellent. Thank you!
Twelve years ago I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis. Now sciatic pain, and high BP…. .Major neuropathy!
All those problems can be from psychosomatic pain. Read Dr. Sarno or Howard Schubiner’s book “Unlearn your pain”. Both men are MD’s but address anxiety, depression, sciatica, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia and dementia, etc. as all physiological and inflammatory states.
I had a gazillion tests to try to find the cause of mine but it was diagnosed as idiopathic. They now think most idiopathic neuropathies are auto immune. They also know that those prone to immune disorders tend to get more of them . I also have allergies, eczema, asthma, a immunoglobulin A deficiency and MGUS (a precancerous condition that sometimes becomes multiple myeloma) . Immune disorders run in my family too. I think it’s a genetic weakness.
Please make a video including a warning for Disulfiram(Antabuse) it causes peripheral neuropathy with constant use.
Hi there. That's a great topic and I will add it to our list. Thanks for the recommendation. Blessings.
It made all the difference to me , once I got off all gluten and dairy!
wow, my doctor's PA prescribed one of those black box antibiotics for me when he was away. !!! going to have a talk with my pharmacist. next wow is that not one of these relates to anything in my life as to why I have PN.
Can you please tell me what to do for lip neuropathy, I appreciate any help, its been over 5 years and no one can help me
I have celiac disease that was undiagnosed/misdiagnosed for years. Gluten exposure causes my hands to go numb to the point thet feel dead.
This is the best video I’ve ever heard about this subject, so thanks a lot 🌹
You are so welcome. Thank you for the feedback.
My hubby had a knee replacement just over 5yrs ago and has PN. His leg is still half numb and he has tingling in that leg and foot and his balance is not good. How do we fix this?
I have pretty severe NP in my head, both feet and legs. I have GERD and have taken Statins on and off too. But as a child in Florida we used to play in the DDT fog that they sprayed for mosquitoes. I always thought it my must have some effect on my health but I never would have thought nerve damage. Is it possible?
B6 toxicity is another issue. Happened to me and many others. It was terrible. Sensory neuropathy. Much better now but still damaged years after toxicity.
Have you healed it know
Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) can cause peripheral neuropathy too.
My neuropathy started after I had some chiropractic manipulations. Has any else had this happened to them and did you find any relief?
Neuropathy runs in my family ,my grandmother my uncle and my father suffer from it,I have it’s myself in 57 now and I’m disabled from a fall where I broke my neck and suffered a stroke and now the neuropathy has gone crazy,I did at one point drink and it got out of hand I stopped but began taking pain medication which actually helped but wasn’t a good solution,that was 5 years ago and today I take magnesium,lipoic acid b vitamins
😢
Interesting info.
Hey doc can a lumbar injury cause it? I have a spondylolisthesis that i reaggravated which has led to burning of the feet but I don't have stenosis at all in my MRI. Also have psoriasis.. trying to make sense of it all
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.
Does THC still work? I have it from Celiac Disease. The pain has gotten really bad, and I can't take most medications because Pharma does not have to disclose Gluten.
Also, Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder sufferers are more likely to develop peripheral neuropathy.
Thank you for the information that you gave in this video just as you've always done. Now I understand what caused my neuropathy. Keep on the good work. Stay blessed.
After surgery for PAD, had a bypass in artery in leg
Very very informative
This is my case, the UM neurology dept said it was from either toxic B6 level or levofloxacin , either or. I take red yeast rice with COQ10 for cholesterol and Lisinopril for blood pressure.
Hi there. I appreciate the info but it's much more complicated to dissect and this info isn't sufficient, especially for a fluoroquinolone induced PN because it does so much damage to the mitochondria of the nerves.

👍 … thank you for this very interesting video.
Due to problems with my maxillary sinuses, I took antibiotics several times a year for decades. I suspect this is where my polyneuropathy comes from. But I can only assume that, unfortunately I don't know.
If I use mosquito repellent spray it is getting worse.
My wife suffers from algo neuro dystrophy. She developed this after a spider bite. The pain medication she uses makes her severely nauseated. What would you prescribe?
