What Causes Neuropathy?
It’s No PIcnic
Often the cause is unknown. When the cause is unknown, it is called “idiopathic.” There are some known causes such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders such as MS. It can even be caused by medication. Another possible cause is B vitamin deficiency. It can be very frustrating to suffer and not know the cause or what might help. In some cases, neuropathy pain cannot be helped. Sometimes the best option is to work to keep it from getting worse. There are however, some types that respond to therapy.
