Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is the term used to describe disorders of the peripheral nerves. Many people using statin pills: ‘cholesterol drugs’ will be affected by this under-recognized and mysterious malady.

Diabetes is a systemic disease that affects all nerves of the body from the brain, eyes and small nerves of the heart and digestive system, to the nerves in the hands, legs, and feet.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy means “disease or abnormality of the nervous system” which is not a very helpful definition. We need to think of neuropathy as any DAMAGE to the nervous system. Carpal Tunnel syndrome, Herniated Strokes and discs are all insults to different areas of the nervous system, all with different symptoms. Diabetes is a systemic disease that affects all nerves of the body from the brain, eyes and small nerves of the heart and digestive system, to the nerves in the legs, hands, and feet.

Peripheral Nerve Cells

The peripheral nervous system is made up of the nerves that branch out of the spinal cord to all parts of the body.

Peripheral nerve cells have three main parts: Cell body, axons, and dendrites (nerve/muscle junction). The axon transmits signals from nerve cell or nerve cell to muscle.

Symptoms

Loss of reflexes, loss of strength, loss of sensation like numbness. These are rarely detectable to the patient, because the brain makes up the difference in the losses. Only after some time do the damaged and sick nerves develop the positive signs of neuropathy; tingling, burning, biting, stabbing, shooting pains.

Each patient will describe their pain in their own individual language of ‘pain’. This can easily confuse a doctor not trained in the recognition and treatment of these patients. The patient usually continues to suffer, going from doctor to doctor, to stronger and stronger doses of pills until they are either completely drugged up and ‘out of it’, or lost in their own world of suffering.

The loss of sensation from the ankles, toes and feet contributes to patients not having a ‘good sense’ of where there feet are in space, touching the ground, and this causes them to fall very easily. This office has the necessary tools to uncover the underlying cause of this ‘silent’ nerve damage.

Some patients will eventually become unable to walk at all. The extremely powerful drugs dispensed to patients do NOT TREAT the NERVE DAMAGE! Most patients can not tolerate a drugged existence but feel the have NO OTHER OPTION against this horrifying pain.
