A neoropathy that effects the stomach, pancrease, thyroid, and liver.... any ideas??

Hi.

I am not sure whether the seizures you are talking about are actually seizures. Taking an EEG would help in ruling out a seizure. The cause could be metabolic. You should consult an Endocrinologist.

The symptoms are: gastroparesis, my pancrease starts producing insilin when I eat any for of sugar and doesn't stop until my sugar levels drop(30-40), the doctor told me when he did my tests that my liver is now filtering very fast because it took a very large amount of meds to put me sleep(this has never been an issue before), my thyroid level is now at .2, I'm tired all the time and can't exert too much(I used to be in the gym for 1hr a day), I have episodes\seizures that make me lightheaded-dizzy-weak on the left side-slows my speech-can't focus-don't remember things(after the episodes stop I don't get fully back to normal), now when the episodes come I have uncontrollable shakes.  We are looking at every avenue to find out whats wrong and the specialists feel it's a neuropathy happening that is causing these but we haven't been able to pinpoint what.  Any ideas that you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.

It is difficult to name any specific condition in the absence of any description of symptoms.

However, the neuropathy may be a part of a syndrome which also involves these organs.
