A member asked:
What are treatments for nerves demylenated by long term high level exposure to organic solvents? neuro-toxicologist best to answer question. thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clarification: If you suffer a peripheral neuropathy due to organic solvents, the myelin is the least of your problems, as these toxins are axonal neuropathies with secondary myelin damage. Cannot tell if any of this is reversible, but your state poison lab can help with treatment suggestions. A medical food, metanx may help nerve restoration, and Lyrica (pregabalin) may help symptoms.

Thank you for the previous answer doc. While I understand that taking PEP ~70hrs post exposure is a "bit late", would it still full under the category of what would be considered effective treatment? It was 68 hours to be precise after oral?
