How To Reverse Neuropathy?

Had small fiber neuropathy (I suspect a SCN9A defect which produces hyperexciability). Took Pilocarpine which eliminated tachycardia and altered bowel and bladder motility. Have connective tissue defects: Diverticulitis requiring bowel resection, stage 3-4 hemorrhoides, hiatial hernia, eosinophilic eosaphagitis, vericose veins, dry mouth - gingivitis requiring repair of gum-line carries in all teeth, frozen shoulder, etc. Traced this to muscarinic receptor neuropathy. What can I do to reverse neuropathy? Eric

Hello,

I would explain that most of peripheral neuropathies are progressive and non reversible disorders.

For this reason, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate first for the possible causes underlying neuropathy and then treat them if possible:
- HbA1C for diabetes
- vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels for possible deficiency
- vitamin E plasma levels
- PCR for inflammation
- iron plasma levels
- blood electrolytes, etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
