Myth #3: Nerve Damage is Irreversible.

Treating Neuropathy is a largely a misunderstood science, even amongst those specializing in the disorder.

One of the biggest misconceptions regarding Neuropathy is that once the nerves are damaged, the Neuropathy is permanent.

This is simply not the case. In many (maybe even most) instances, Neuropathy can be reversed.

The body is an amazing instrument and can heal itself in most circumstances – if given the right tools. The human body is very good at repairing damage and fixing problems (like nerve damage) to get itself back into working order.

With the right treatment protocol, most neuropathies can be slowed and even reversed. The key is figuring out what is causing the damage (and stopping it) and giving the body what it needs to heal any damage already done.

Myth #4: Old People Always Get Neuropathy.

The older you get the more you have to deal with aches and pains – right? Not necessarily!

Neuropathy pain is not a sign of natural aging – it is a sign of nerve damage.

This damage can be caused by all sorts of things like injuries, infections, or another disease. But getting older isn’t one of those causes.

Just because you are at certain age does not mean that you are destined to suffer from nerve pain.

The best defense against becoming a Neuropathy sufferer in your aging years is to keep your body healthy and strong and get help as soon as symptoms arise.

Myth #5: Prescription Medications Are the Only Solution.

You definitely don’t have to suffer from growing Neuropathy pain but you have to be aware of the limitations of conventional treatment.

Prescription drugs for Neuropathy are designed to ease or mask the symptoms. They won’t target the root cause of your condition.

If you do not know much about Neuropathy (other than your own painful history with it), it is time that you learned more.

Why not start with busting those myths and finding out the truth about Peripheral Neuropathy.

Myth #1: Only People with Diabetes Have Neuropathy.

Neuropathy is very common in diabetes patients, which may be one of the reasons why so many people think it is the single cause of nerve pain. This is not the truth.

Diabetes is an underlying medical condition that can cause damage to the nerves, but it is by no means the only thing affecting nerves in the body.

Other common causes of nerve pain include: Alcoholism, Trauma causing pressure on the nerves, Toxins, Surgery, Kidney disorders, Genetics, Infections, Autoimmune disorders.

Myth #2: Tingling, Numbness and Shooting Pain Are the Only Symptoms Associated with Neuropathy.

Pain is the most common Neuropathy symptom, with numbness and tingling also experienced.

Still, they are not the only symptoms associated with Neuropathy. The Peripheral Nervous System includes of three main types of nerve including the sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves.

Depending on which of these nerves gets damaged, your symptoms can include:

Aches and severe pain, a burning sensation, muscle weakness or even paralysis, coordination issues and dizziness, heartburn and indigestion, blurry vision, incontinence, sexual dysfunction, excessive sweating, and even shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat.

As you can see, nephropathy can have an effect on so many organs and areas of your body and its symptoms are very individual.
