Among Known Cases Of Detroit Neuropathy Michigan Residents Are Identified


By Helga Stokes


Among the numerous identified cases of Detroit neuropathy Michigan residents are found to be no more or less often afflicted on average than those in neighboring states. Type 2 diabetes is known to be the cause of approximately thirty per cent of all cases. Medical attention as soon as possible provides the best outcome for this affliction whether caused by type 2 diabetes or one of the many other possible causes.

The symptoms are a result of nerve damage and are felt as a tingling in the extremities. Sufferers often say it feels as if they are wearing a stocking that is applying pressure to the feet. The pain is also expressed as a burning sensation in the toes and feet.

Diabetes is only one cause and there are some that are known to be causative and others that are only theorized. It could be caused by a metabolic imbalance, trauma to the nerves, exposure to toxins or ingestion of toxins, for some examples. There are prescription medications that provide relief for the pain.

The name of the disorder is peripheral neuropathy for the reason that it relates to the peripheral nerves rather than the central nerves. Motor, sensory and autonomic nerves control functions as well as affecting the feet and legs. These functions include digestion, heart rate and blood pressure.

The functioning of the bladder and entire gastrointestinal system are also impacted. In some cases a tumor is found to be pressing against a nerve. The cause could be a repetitive task such as typing on the job or a home computer.

Another possibility is that it stems from an inherited disorder. Other reasons might be infections, specific medications or an autoimmune disease such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. An individual addicted to alcohol is susceptible, but not necessarily due to the addiction. It is more likely due to poor diet and the resulting lack of vitamin intake. The lack of the B vitamins is especially significant.

One condition is known as pseudo-sciatica. The verifiable cause for true sciatica is a curvature or abnormality of the spinal column. Peripheral neuropathy sciatica mimics true sciatica. But, while true sciatica is due to the central nervous system being affected, the pseudo-sciatica is due to, as the name implies, peripheral nerves.

The wide variation in the size of the nerves is why the feelings of pain can be as diverse as they are. The scope of the size differences, along with the numerous possible causes, makes a clear understanding of this condition difficult. Alongside the many factors that may cause this condition, there are as many in which the cause is still a mystery.

As they explore Detroit neuropathy Michigan residents are found to be no more susceptible than people in other states of similar size. Among contributing conditions being researched are Guillain-Barre syndrome, Friedreich's ataxia, Sjogren's syndrome and the chicken pox related condition, shingles. If the nerves are being impacted in any way for any reason, the end result can be peripheral neuropathy.
