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 saw a Dr. Talking about plaque getting into the nerve system sort of like arteries. CalmPro 5 is what their solution was. Look it up maybe it will help.
@@richj120952 I understand, it’s awful. Sorry you went through all of that I just don’t think neurologists know enough about the brain or nervous system no matter how many years of school they have behind them. In New Jersey they wanted me to wait 5 months to see one. They’re crazy. I found a neurologist in Princeton where I had to wait one month. I’m noticing more and more that the doctors here in New Jersey aw awful. Even the doctors in a hospital in New Brunswick New Jersey were so awful that in the ER they gave my 83 year old functioning mother a massive stroke with a TNK clot busting drug, a stroke that she never had. But their drug gave her a pontine stroke. She’s ruined for life and in a wheelchair now because of the careless doctors there, they say standard of care. Standard of care should be a MRI right away not days later in a hospital room. And base a diagnosis of a stroke off of a 12 question stroke test when many symptoms can mimic a stroke like a UTI. Anyway my neuropathy is from a pain management doctor in Metuchen NJ he gave me small fiber neuropathy because of 2 steroid injections back in April a day after my mother’s stroke this year. Another horrible doctor in New Jersey. All 3 doctors that I have went to since these 2 shots, even the neurologist won’t admit steroids did this to me even if I had symptoms of neuropathy 4 days after my steroid shots for my carpel tunnel in my arm. I found out through the internet researching and from asking doctors on TH-cam who told me I was correct about steroids giving me neuropathy. Even the great doctors in Princeton who referred me to a neurologist told me steroids didn’t do this to me. I can’t see him not knowing. I think they just don’t want to admit to me since all the doctors I have gone to like to prescribe steroids. Some people have no side effects from steroids, but I sure did. Unless this awful doctor in NJ gave me too much or didn’t inject me in the correct location. I am trying to heal and reverse my neuropathy with supplements from the nerve doctors here who are so wonderful. I got the nurphoria gold, nerve defense and the rapid relief pain cream. I started this all 3 weeks ago in November and still I’m waiting for my nerve pain cream to come in the mail. I’m also starting a keto diet this Sunday and adding an exercise routine that I see here from these nerve doctors as well. Wishing you all the best.
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.
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 😊
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 went on a strict carnivore diet for 2 years. It did not help my neuropathy. I believe though that carbs do cause tons of diseases.
@@fishnlady Sorry to hear that - good luck to you!
I cut out sugar as well for about 50 days so far. My Neuropathy has SLOWLY gotten worse. From foot vibrations to shin sensations to arm sensations to now face sensations. My foot doctor said it was YEARS of high cholestoral (the worst I ever got was close to pre-diabetic. That's it. I did have a Vitamin D deficiency, but they keep on downplaying it).
@@JPWRana Sorry to hear that - hopefully you will receive a gift that will take all your pains away, mine was the sugar and yours has possibly not yet been discovered - good luck and good health to you.
@@JPWRana. My doctor said low thyroid can cause neuropathy and also spine issues. My thyroid was very low. Off the charts low. It is much better now but still on the low side.
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 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 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 neuropathy, but doctors did not take me seriously, I walked with pain from neuropathy for three years, terrible pain, had a loss of feeling, which caused me to fall over and over again. Until I discovered for myself that my neuropathy was caused by cholesterol medication, blood pressure medication and various remedies for diabetes. Now that I have intervened MYSELF, my pain is completely gone and all feeling is back. My trust in the medical world is completely gone, they are simple quacks who have financial advantages in prescribing that medication
Can you please tell me how you got your pain to go away and how you got all your feeling back in your legs and feet because I got neuropathy right after a steroid injection back in April. I was against it but was in pain from a work injury in my finger and the pinch nerve pain traveled to my arm. They gave me physical therapy for it but gave me a steroid injection as well. They are quacks, this doctor in New Jersey was greedy and didn’t even explain or spend any time with me. Just basically gave me the injection and rushed away. Horrible doctor. 4 days later I had numbness in my foot. Immediately thought of my steroid shot but ignored my heath because I was focusing on my mom who had a massive stroke in April as well. In July I went back to my nerve doctor and he sent me to get a mri on my back. My numbness and pain was not stemming from my back like he thought. I did Physical therapy for 10 sessions and it did nothing. Got a second opinion from another nerve doctor in Princeton NJ and they did a EMG and it showed a decreased response of a nerve in my right foot and another abnormal finding in my left foot that they couldn’t figure out why. I started to go numb in my left leg and foot in July. They referred me to a neurologist. I went to her in September and she said I have neuropathy. The doctor in Princeton denied the steroid caused this even if I didn’t even get it done in their office. They also said my nerve pain and numbness had nothing to do with my back. I believe them. My first doctor who did the injection got an attitude towards me as soon as I said this might be from the injection. He said I had disk bulges in my back and wanted to give me 2 injections in my back once he found out that therapy didn’t help my legs. I never went back to his office again. To think that first doctor had 41 year’s experience as a pain management doctor and he thinks my pain and numbness is coming from my spine. The neurologist sent me for a MRI of my spine and it was okay. She did $3,000 worth of blood work and everything came out normal except for my B6 was high. I just wish I could get better. I watch TH-cam videos about this condition and I see there are some supplements I could take. Will anything help me to get better. Thank You to anyone who reads all of this 🙏 I wrote so much because I’m very upset this happened to me.
@@juliehorvath09 I did have medication, even medication that the docttor should have checked B12. I did have statines they got a blackbox of de FDA, hey can cause nerv danmage. But aldo lisinopril, and Methformine, can cause a B12 shortage. By taking my self B12 later changed to a totale vitamine pil. Not only did I have neuropaty, but my feed and hands did have a strange coller, Thanks to de FDA end the NHS I found the cause it was Forxiga, the day that I stopped with it nmy hand and feed became warmn again. My diabetis became better after I did stop with mitazapine, my diabetes we did not get in under controle the next step would be to inject insuline, thanks to the FDA. I found out that mitazapiunen can causere diabetes. The change was so big that I do now only need a very low dose of Methformine, and no insuline. I am very angry at the docters, they love to make monny
@@benabraham9076yeah the doctors here in New Jersey are very greedy they love to make money. They are like legalized drug dealers pushing these drugs. I’m so mad at my doctor. Why two injections in my arm. That’s because my insurance paid for it and these injections were very expensive so the greedy doctor made money from me cause of my health insurance covered it.
This statement you made is so true. 100% ❤
@@juliehorvath09Benfotiamim helps the nerve sheath.....could be an easy fix
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.
She missed one of the major causes which is vitamin B-12 deficiency.
B-12 is required for production of the myelin sheath
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.
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 😢
Why do bad things happend to good people 😀 I am sorry to hear that you have neuropathy. It requires being a detective to determine why you developed neuropathy. There's an underlying cause that needs to be revealed. Let us know if you need help.
Do you have a healthy back/spine? I don't (pinched nerves along with back pain) and that was the cause of my foot Neuropathy...otherwise I have followed your lifestyle for over 20 years.
Me too, but I was just diagnosed with mild-moderate RA.
@@NerveDoctors thank you so much for all the info! You’re the best!
@@jamespeck276 not really! I do have a lower back pain since I had my first child !
☀️I asked the lady dr in the ER to offer me a drug other than Cipro. She bullied me by saying she would not treat me if I would not take the drug she ordered. How unprofessional is that?
I wish I had not caved, but people are so vulnerable in a situation like that and some doctors take advantage. THANK YOU for the videos🙂
Huh the doctors meds are poison well I believe they are two tablets ruined my overall health they gave me but you are right they get very mad if you say this the side effects of some are terrible
Just say you are allergic if this ever happens again~Cipro makes my entire body feel like it is on fire, especially in the muscles, thus I absolutely REFUSE to ever take it again!!
Mary Gee,
You are so very welcome for the videos, and we are glad you enjoyed them!
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.
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.
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.
I'm sorry this happened to you. This also happened to my 27yr old daughter three yrs later she is still suffering...now on Medicaid and is applying for disability as she cant walk very far or stand also has SIBO and only weighs 102. NO Drs want to go there or recognize what happened with these antibiotics.😡
This is exactly what happened to me. I was prescribed Ciprofloxen and Levofloxacin for chronic UTI’s routinely multiple times for 3 decades and I had no idea of the dangers. I’m a nurse too 😕.
In 2005 I developed PN symptoms and I didn’t see a doctor until 2014. A Neurologist diagnosed me with RLS in 2014 along with Neurogenic Bladder and Urinary Retention for which I have to self catheterize after each voiding. I now believe this too was caused by Fluoroquinolones . Almost 2 years ago I was prescribed Levofloxacin again for another UTI and the next morning I thought I had had a stroke. I couldn’t walk and I had altered mental status but I had the presence of mind to reach into the pharmacy bag and read the voluminous pharmacy papers that came with the prescription. I immediately called my Urologist’s office to speak with the NP who prescribed it and she denied knowing anything about FDA BLACK BOX WARNINGS on these antibiotics. Apparently the majority of doctors don’t know or don’t care to research the drugs they are prescribing even though they are ultimately responsible for knowing what they’re prescribing. Instead they listen to Drug Reps peddling their poisons. Follow The Money Trail and it leads straight to The NIH, The FDA and Big Pharma.
I am not Diabetic and I do not consume alcohol regularly but I did have H1N1 in 2009 when it was a Pandemic and while in the hospital for that I also developed Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis! Soon thereafter I developed “Fibromyalgia” and everything spiraled out of control from there.
In 2017 I was a passenger in a devastating car crash with multiple injuries. I sustained a Tibial Plateau Fracture Type 6 and needed emergency surgery twice in the space of 4 days. The outcome was determined to be permanent damage and a severed Peroneal nerve was found 4 years later. I also have a number of Lumbar Sacral Spine conditions and I honestly don’t know how I survive from one day to the next.
Today I finally met with a Neuropathy Specialist and am hopeful that I can be relieved of at least some of the pain.
@@kimberlywallace6148 Holy moly, you've been dealt some crappy cards!
I hope the specialist can deal you a better hand.
(Sorry, I have no idea why I chose card-playing metaphors).
I wish you well.
@@imacmill Yes, that’s one way to put it! You know when you’re vibrating on a low energy level it opens up Pandora’s Box packed full of anxiety and depression.
When doctors “Gaslight” their patients we shut down but since I started standing up for myself and no longer believe that doctors are “All Knowing” I feel more in control of my health. The moment a doctor becomes condescending or angry about my questions I walk right out the door. Never again will I accept blatant disrespect and arrogance considering that nearly all of my health problems stemmed from prescription drugs and misdiagnoses.
Wow, this was an eye opener. I'm type 2 diabetic & have been experiencing PN for awhile. Supplements such as alpha lipoic acid & Benfotiamine have helped, but recently my condition has taken a turn for the worse. The pains are now shooting up both my legs and I'm in excruciating pain. I'm also gluten sensitive as well, and have been eating a ton of wheat products lately. I had no idea that one could develop peripheral neuropathy if you were celiac. 😢
You might find vids by Dr Ekberg helpful.
Quit sugar
YES Very Helpful... Thank You 🙂👍
After surgery, too, so right!
I have been taking your product for two and a half months. I am seeing a reversal of foot pain. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing and so glad to hear you're doing better.
What product do they sell?
It made all the difference to me , once I got off all gluten and dairy!
Undiagnosed B12 deficiency caused mine. Now I inject with B12 twice a week.
Does it make you break out with cold sores b12 shots
@@davidredford3111 It shouldn't do that. I inject B12 every three weeks and in many years it has never triggered such things.
@@davidredford3111 Hi David, It doesn't for me. The injections have helped me so much. I can walk again.
Are they going to move your dose out more and more over time?
Has the neuropathy decreased due to the injections? By how much? Is the numbness gone or is it slowly going away? Thanks for filling in the details.
I had neuropathy from very low B12 levels, I can’t absorb B12 so I do injections! Thank you for being honest about some prescription drugs being routinely dispensed, to be fair, most of us don’t read the sheets that come with our medications or research them on our own.
But its cianocobalamin you're getting. So I try methylcobalamin sublingual high dose every day, and hope to be better from neuropathy in a few weeks/months🙏
same as you. i was very deficient in B12 but very high level of B1 for some reason.
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.
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.
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
okay, well explained but what is the solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I now have nerve pain, hands arms feet, and legs, my blood sugars are normal.
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!
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.
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 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
Hi, great video but super scary! You didn't mention CIDP in your list of autoimmune diseases. Granted, it is a very rare disease but that's the one I developed 25 years ago. Unfortunately, I did not get diagnosed until I was 15 years in. By this time I was falling a lot, had drop foot, and was numb up to my knees. I can no longer walk more than a few steps as I have no balance. My hands became affected after 10 years with the CIDP. I could no longer work as I was a dog groomer. By now I have had all of the toes on my right foot amputated due to bone infections from ulcers. I have been on an IVIG infusion for 8 years and due to the IG infusions, I have now developed Cronic Kidney Disease. But, it's my 66th Birthday tomorrow, and I am NOT giving up! PN is no joke!!!
God Bless You ! Prayers 🙏💜🙏💜
Thank you! You as well!
Thank you for your video. It helps greatly to know the causes and what we need to do to avoid damage to our nerves!
Spinal cord injuries. I broke my back years ago and have nerve. I've lived with the pain for decades.
I'm so sorry Mike. What are you doing for yourself? Is there any guidance I can give you?
@NerveDoctors thank you I appreciate your channel. I've learned over the years that diet and exercise are the best medicines. Learning what triggers flare-up is very important. I've tried all the prescription drugs over the years. None helped, and most made things worse. Lyrica made me so sick I thought I was going to die. Thanks again for your channel.
It’s no mystery how I got it. Just completed my first course of chemo.
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 Dr. you’ve cleared up some mysteries for me, now I have the knowledge to get back into the fight for my life, with hope after 5 long yrs with no help, many Drs I saw were a waste of time and money!! Boy , I’m angry, it’s finally coming out!
What about stenosis from spine? Injuries? Like corneated disc's thoracic hernia disk?
That's what caused my nerve damage to get worse! Failed spinal surgeries! Now taking Gabapentin and Cymnalta
Helps a little but not much! I also have PAD and Cardiovascular disease at age 60. My husband died at 42 from same thing😭
Yes you are right after the booster terrible nerve pain began
One dr has a cure for PN, it was to increase your fat intake of certain types of fats. The fats help build the sheath around the nerves and then your symptoms are much better
I have it after many years of fibromyalgia. It was just diagnosed days ago. No diabetes...
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.
Getting ready to order my third mont of the nerve meds and second of the vitamins haven't noticed anything yet.
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.
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.
CIPRO is very bad. I had just gotten out of a wheelchair in Early December 23.. got a UTI and was put on CIPRO. It put me back in the wheelchair and took over 6 months before I was walking again.
My very painful PN is still "idiopathic" after 11 years and dozens of tests and it, along with bipolar depression, are f***ing RUINING my life.
Sorry to hear.....really sounds terrible. Hope you are able to find a solution.
Hang in there. Keep looking for help. You Tube has helped our family figure out several health issues that doctors considered to be idiopathic. A big help has been EONutrition, specifically on Thiamine and also on Oxalates. Also Dr. Berg and Dr. Berry and Motivational Doc. Don’t give up!!
God bless you.
@@marthavanderpool6829 Thank you so much for that!
@@kevinegan6311 Thank you! I know I wrote a reply to you earlier but I must not have hit "send."
@@snicky58 often in the past when I thought there wasn't much hope of things getting better, somehow they did even if it was just a very small first step of moving forward. Wish that for you.
I used to be a heavy drinker for 20 years been sober since 2010 i dislocated my right ankle 10 years ago now i have severe trouble with that foot from & just from walking very painful & standing to long its awful 😢
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.
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 got mine with my Lupus
Me too!! What do you do to treat??
Crystal Clear! That's how you explain all things
Thanks so much, James
This was an excellent article. Thank you for sharing this in such a wonderful manner!😸
Thank you!
I got peripheral neuropathy from listening to "doctors" on TH-cam.
What about Flouride everyone is forced daily to ingest not to mention products loaded with it?
You've got that so right about bariatic problems being a cause!!
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.
Benfotamine, lipoic acid, b5, b6, nutritional yeast
We're screwed
Could it be a deficiency of Thiamine - Vitamin B1 ??
Osteoarthritis of the spine, you forgot about that one!
Same with dry gangrene. It isn't always caused by diabetes or plaque narrowing or blood flow.
After having many tests, by a cardiovascular surgeon, it has been by Rheumatoid Arthritis attacking 😮.
Thankfully, the gangrene didn't expand. There was a split in doctors opinions on whether the gangrene toe tip needed surgical removal or let Nature do as much healing, as possible? I agreed to give Nature the time needed. This has proven to be the best choice. The area affected has reduced in size. 🎉
Neuropathy?
Yes, though started in my feet at least 6 months ago. A few times the pain was so intense that I was unable to hold back a scream. Presently, one foot is worse than the other. I've tried various methods for relief. What has worked the best is a foot soak with Epsom salt, peppermint oil then followed by a coconut oil foot massage. In addition, Arnica gel or aloe vera gel have helped when my feet have edema inflamation ❤
I'm so sorry my dear I know an understanding your situation sounds like mine
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
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 going to go check out my blood pressure medicine and see if any of them have caused Nuerapathy in my lower left leg
My husband had Hodgkin's lymphoma and was on ABVD successfully. But the day after each treatment, he got a Neulasta shot to boost his immune system. It was successful in that, thankfully and he even made it through flu season without incident. But we were warned, first by the nurses and then by other HL survivors, that it can bring on neuropathy. And yea, it has.
Thankfully, we live in NJ and he can take an edible 25mg THC gummy before bed. It makes a huge difference, if anyone is wondering.
It sounds like it is just dNgerous to live!
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
😢
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
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
I have it and it sucks
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.
Also, Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder sufferers are more likely to develop peripheral neuropathy.
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.
At the beginning of the video he said he would tell us in a few minutes which protein was the culprit, and that got me to watch THIS video. THEN, he said we have to watch another video to get the answer. I don't like getting duped, so I am out!
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...
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
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 ❤
Can you reverse peripheral artery disease??
I very much dislike these videos that ask people to "like and subscribe" at the very beginning of the video. That's like a retailer asking you to review a product, before you buy it.
If no one likes and subscribes, there would be no Nerve Doctor channel or TH-cam for that matter. It took 10 seconds for gosh sake!
@@Bob_AdkinsBut why would you subscribe before hearing what they have to say? The exhortation should be at the end when those who liked it are still watching. I agree with the comment above.
Review it and see what value you can glean for your situation. There is no one remedy that fixes all. Be prudent Ralph.
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.
got a cat bite, went to emergency room at local hospital. Every day for over a month I went in and they hooked me up to an iv with anti-biotics, six different ones and when they finally took a culture because I had developed blood poisoning, none of the anti-biotics put in my bloodstream touched the infection. Had to have emergency surgery and have been dealing with being poisoned for 25 years and still surviving day by day. Have severe PN and now all they can offer me are pain killers which I know would have sever side effects. I hate what this hospital did to me. Cipro caused my PN
I have Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT2) & diabetes so crewed. I have damaged nerves (diabetes) & diseased nerves (CMT).
Welcome to the club.
So amazing and helpful. I was paralysed after a neck (c2,3) op. 3 yrs ago. Learned to walk,just. But on a lot of these meds and am in constant pain all the time. Numb fingers, burning and tingling feet all the time.
Knees and ankles give out. Life is hell! Need to be near a bathroom all the time.
Drs just keep adding more drugs and I get worse, no wonder. In NZ
So sorry. Hope you have some happiness to distract you or at least add balance.💜
Thank you Holly 💕
Nutrition! Vitamin D and B are necessary for nerve regeneration
I had the same. Please try a ketogenic diet for a month or two. Be very strict. I was bedridden and in care when I started. I’m back to life now.
Low b12
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.
Look at the lower back as well.
Treat alignnent there and inflammation .
Accupuncture helps .
I'm had over 90 MIRs since 1990.
Mines is Sciatic related
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 never had neuropathy untill taking statins amd amlodipine. I wonder if this will subside if these medications are stopped.
I got it when I started taking Amlodipine.
@@vicsaunders9710 wow, I'll look into that. Thankyou
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
Can I sue several of my doctors, and also Radiation places I've had MRI's & CT scans? I'd also like to sue CVS and big Pharma and the FDA. Am I leaving any other out?
I would like to sue my nerve doctor that injected corticosteroid into my arm because now I finally realize it was that drug that caused the neuropathy I have now. I can’t get any doctor that I have seen to admit to it. I got the injection on April 12th, this year and started to feel numbness in my right foot on April 16th. Four days later I feel numbness, it had to be because of that injection. I also have pain in that foot. My nerve doctor that injected my arm with that drug made me get a MRI on my spine and told me it was lumbar radiculopathy. I’m so glad I found this page on youtube. I hope it will help me if I follow their advice.
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
What about the feeling of water running down your skin sensation and also having a dull ache sensation in body kinda like a toothache sensation but in body
Same here😢😢.. btw how are you now? Me im still suffering this kind of invisible illness
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.
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.
Good video, to the point with some hard information.
George420 So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I have neuropathy in my hands and feet from chemotherapy.
