I have been diagnosed with fibro and reynauds. Just diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. The doctor sent me to have tests to find out what is causing the neuropathy. I am not a diabetic. So i was wondering, does anyone have info what other causes of peripheral neuropathy are? Thanks KA ---

Hi kallee, I have Raynaud's Phenomenon, it's circulatory, mainly affecting the hands and feet, but can also bother the nose and ears. Here is something they are experimenting with that sounds promising. I am given a vasodilator to take as needed, but this may work even better. Well, it would not allow me to cut and paste, but they are using a nitroglycerin cream for Raynaud's and it is working, just not on the market yet. ---

[http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/peripheral-neuropathy/DS00131/DSEC...](http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/peripheral-neuropathy/DS00131/DSECTION=causes) Here are causes of peripheral neuropathy, you may want to talk to your Dr to get more information of the cause of yours. I know that these diagnoses are never good news, but they are a step to getting a firm diagnosis and getting the right treatment and hopefully substantial relief. Sorry it took so long, I just happened to notice your post tonight. Hope you are well. ---

Hi kallee, Peripheral Neuropathy can be caused by a lot of different things, as SK has linked. Unfortunately, it is a common symptom of Fibromyalgia. I have it from nerve damage in my spine, on top of whatever Fibromyalgia contributes--no diabetes either. Check out the Raynaud's group, they have a lot of information to help with that too! Hugs, Renie♥ ---

Hi Kallee, I have Raynauds & peripheral neuropathy, my dr said it was most likely from fibro, mine seems to come and go, I do have burning in my feet, but not all the time. I tried Gabapentin & Lyrica but was allergic to both… Ugh I’m not diabetic either, thank god ! Don’t need that !! Hugs & blessings dee ---

BTW, I'm not diabetic either, my neuropathy is related to my spinal cord, from illness and injury! Now my husband is diabetic, and lost most of the feeling in his feet, so I went through all of my books on herbs and natural healing, I gave him evening primrose oil, CO10 and liquid Vitamin B12, and it worked like a charm, I also talked to my Chriropractor, they have knowledge of vitamins like a primary care physician has knowledge of meds. Always speak to your Dr before taking any supplements.
