Question 1

what exactly is axonal sensorimotor peripheral polyneuropathy?

Accepted Answer

Answer: Description of a peripheral neuropathy that predominantly affects the axon, wire within nerve, and secondarily affects the myelin, insulation.  This characteristically occurs in diabetes, alcohol nutritional problems, porphyria, solvent exposure, amyloidosis, etc.

Question 2

what is axonal sensorimotor peripheral polyneuropathy and how is it treated?

Accepted Answer

Generic: A variety of nerve pathology.  Etiologies include alcohol/nutritional, diabetes, solvent or chemical exposure, porphyria, amyloid, causations.  Since this is a unique category, should be relatively easy to pin down and design a specific therapy.  Medical foods, metanx, could improve a small fibre component, and Lyrica (pregabalin) or Cymbalta could help symptoms.

Question 3

can you tell me what is axonal sensorimotor peripheral polyneuropathy?

Accepted Answer

Peripheral Nerve: Damage to the peripheral nerve body and projection is an axonal peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy.

Question 4

have tingling on jaw and sometimes lips. feels like i had numbing med at a dentist but i did not. is it the axonal polyneuropathy or dental.

Accepted Answer

Consult in order: There is no way that we can attempt a diagnosis without you actually being seen. You should see an oral surgeon to rule out any dental causes, and your primary care physician who may refer you to a neurologist or other specialist to rule out medical causes. Start the ball rolling as soon as possible, as this may well be symptoms of some serious problem!

Question 5

can herniate disc cause chin/ lip tingling? have shoulder blade tendonitis & tear, tingling hands and ostheoarthritis.emg said axonal polyneuropathy.

Accepted Answer

Not due to disc: Get further information about your peripheral neuropathy issues.  The chin and lip symptoms are in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve and involve brainstem, facial mechanisms, not "discs"!  you might have a dental issue affecting the mental nerve branch.  Need to uncover causation here.  Many such problems respond well to treatment.

Question 6

tingling hands so diagnx with axonal polyneuropathy and tendontis/carpel tunnel. what causes these? now i have tingling chin and lips. is this serious

Accepted Answer

Can be serious: Polyneuropathy can have many causes.  Most common cause if probably diabetes.  Carpal tunnel compression of the median nerve at the wrist can occur independently from the neuropathy.  You can try treating the carpal tunnel with a wrist splint.  This may help the hands, but if other areas are starting to feel numb, let your doctor know.

Question 7

all of my teeth seem to ache. i have a tingling numbness inmy jaw, front of the ear and tingling in lips. can this be tmj? i do have axonal polyneuropathy. could it be this?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Answering your question quite literally, it could be related to either of these issues or something  else entirely. You should get evaluated perhaps first by a dentist to eval your TMJ and possible peri-oral causes. If nothing is clear, you'll likely be referred for additional evaluation.

Question 8

what are the symptoms of acute inflammatory polyneuropathy?

Accepted Answer

CIDP: This is an immune disorder of the peripheral nervous system, and involves an attack of the myelin coverings of mainly the motor nerves, but can be seen occasionally affecting sensory fibers also.  Cidp can be controlled with steroids or ivig, but relapses can occur, and lifelong treatment is often required.
Weakness in arms, legs, and face, most common.

Question 9

do most people who get chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy have many symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Not subtle: CIDP is an immune neuropathy which may start insidiously, but rapidly develops into diffuse weakness causing difficulty with daily activities.  Although the motor issues are usually the main manifestations, some tingling and numbness may occur, and variants may cause peripheral nerve pain, and imbalance.

Question 10
