Peripheral Neuropathy is related to the disorder of nerves that carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord. It can produce pain, loss of sensation and inability to control muscles. Nearly sixty percent of all people with diabetes suffer from peripheral neuropathy.
Peripheral means nerves further out from the center of the body, distant from brain and spinal cord. Neuro means nerves and pathy means abnormal, indicating disease.
Nerves are the communication lines of the body. Electrical signals from the brain travel through the nerves and give instructions to various parts of the body. The body receives information from the environment through the senses and sends this information to the brain via the nerves.
The majority of peripheral nerves are responsible for sensations you feel such as touch pain and temperature. There’re literally millions of these never endings in your fingers, hands, toes, and feet which are designed to keep you out of danger and away from things that are hot cold and sharp etc.
Nerve damage or neuropathy normally occurs when the cells degenerates. Without this protection the electrical signs that are not transferred properly.
These symptoms depend on the type of nerves motor sensory or automatic that are damaged. Some people may experience numbness, tingling and pricing sensations, sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness. It is the case of numbness in the fingers and even left arm pain and tingling.
Numbness pain, or tingling in the feet and ankles or legs may after several years, lead to weakness in the muscles of the feet and burning feet.
Others may suffer more extreme symptoms including burning pain muscle wasting, pralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction. Small fiber neuropathy affects the nerve endings in the finger toes.
Diabetic neuropathy can can fiber up suddenly and affect specific nerves so that an affected individual develops double vision or drooping eyelids or weakness of the thigh muscles. Nerve damage caused by diabetes generally occurs over a period of years may be led to problems with the digestive tract and sexual organs, which can cause indigestion, constipation dizziness, bladder infections and impotence.
These nerves in our hand and our feet also help us to control numerous small muscles and interact movements in these regions of the body. It would also be difficult to walk without knowing that your feet are standing on or to pick things up if we had no idea how hard we were gripping something.
The sad fact is that after a after a while this misfiring of the nerves can get so bad that people are unable to walk or pick things up and can get to a point where they would rather have a limb amputated then continue with this nerve pain.
There’re three types of peripheral nerves motor sensory and automatic. Motor nerves send impulses from the brain and spinal cord to all of the muscles I the body this enables people to do activities like walking catching a ball or move finger to pick something up. Motor nerve damage can lead to muscle weakness difficulty in walking or moving the arms cramps and spasms.
The sensory nerves send messages in the other direction form the muscles back to the spinal cord and brain. Special sensors in the skin and deep inside in the body part is still or in motion. Sensory nerve damage often results in numbness, pain and extreme sensitivity to touch.
The autonomic nerves control involuntary or semi- involuntary functions as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and sweating. When the autonomic nerves are damaged, a person’s heart beat may beat faster or slower. They may get dizzy when standing up, sweat excessively, or have difficulty sweating at all. In addition, automatic nerve damage may result in difficulty in swallowing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation problems with urination, abnormal pupil size and sexual dysfunction.
Most commonly, it is diabetics that suffer from this type of nerve pain it is a major complication of the disease. It it’s the higher than normal sugar levels that creates the damage. Chronic neuropathy can start when your nerves are deprived of oxygen or anoxia.
Too many free radicals in your blood stream can also attach themselves to the oxygen and make it unavailable to the cells. There are many reason apart from diabetes which may cause peripheral neuropathy and it is some times a combination of reasons, some of which are listed here: alcoholism , metabolic disorder, autoimmune disorders, bell’s palsy, cancer, cancer treatments, chemotherapy, kidney failure pressure on an area rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, foods that are toxic, herniated disk, lyme disease HIV aids hepatitis b liver failure side effect of different medicines radiation treatment surgeries that damage a nerve vitamin deficiencies, anemia, zinc induced copper deficiency etc.
The medicines like lyrica and cymbalta attempt to cover up only the feeling of pain. And they have their side effects. Additionally cymbalta is an anti-depressant that very often is difficult to get off. Other electronic devices that merely heat the feet have been tried unsuccessfully.
Homeopathic system of medicine has a better solution. Unlike allopathic medicine, homeopathy considers nerupathy a reversible condition. The writer has, by the grace of ALLAH successfully treated many chronic cases of neuropathy.
