Causes of neuropathy: include diabetes, toxic exposure (including excessive vitamin B6), thyroid disease, nutritional deficiency, autoimmune disorder, infectious (eg. Lymes disease) . etc. Sometimes its helpful to get a second neurological evaluation to review the NCV, labs and to hopefully identify a treatable condition.
