A member asked:
If my dr suspects amyloidosis but is making me wait months for a tissue biopsy, is this too long & what should i do? ongoing peripheral neuropathy
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare amyloidosis: Amyloidosis does not have any specific treatment & so waiting is OK. Supportive treatment for peripheral neuropathy- Vitamin B1,B6 & B12- injection or by mouth.
