I have had a pr oblem for a few months now, I cant even remember when this started, but my feet, and legs seem to go all tingly as well, and numbish,,,sometimes it feels wierd, I cant even explain it, but I went to the doc yesterday, he scratched my foot with something on the bottom, and sure i felt a bit, but not much, my legs swell terribley, and i get bruises for no apparent reason, if i actually do bruise from something I sure wish i remembered doing it, the doc is sending me for tests in the next 2 weeks, and put me off work, I dont understand what I am not feeling, or am feeling, and my hands swell up as well, my left hand is very swollen at times, with dryness, gosh! what to do!
I also can not feel my feet and the neuropathy is coming up my legs and now just below the knees. My hands have also become effected in the last year.
I test different vitamins and herbs to find something that can stop or slow the neuropathy. I have had this developing for the last 10 years so I guess I might have been doing something right.
Without going through all of my testing right now I have three things that seem to help b-12 shots, I give myself, carnitine, and valarian root.
Find whatever supports the nervious system and take it. Good luck
Thanks for your responses. He now has 2 sores under his feet that he was not aware of and does not know how they started.
i have mild numbness in my feet, I think I have Ms and just had a lumbar puncture to find out.
its not that uncommon to not know the cause of neuropathy. could be due to diabetes, viral infection, spontaneous, or a variety of other things. my grandma is going through the same thing right now, she's just suddenly lost feeling in both of her feet for no apparent reason.
