Neuropathy Awareness week 2023

Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, is a condition that affects the nerves in the body. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including diabetes, chemotherapy, alcoholism, and certain infections. Neuropathy can be a painful and debilitating condition that can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. In this blog post, we will discuss the symptoms of neuropathy and what it feels like to live with this condition.

Symptoms of Neuropathy

The symptoms of neuropathy can vary depending on the cause and severity of the condition.  However, common symptoms include:

  • Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
  • Burning or shooting pain
  • Weakness in the muscles
  • Difficulty with coordination and balance
  • Sensitivity to touch or temperature changes
  • Loss of reflexes
  • Muscle cramping or twitching
  • Difficulty swallowing or speaking
  • Bladder or bowel dysfunction
  • Sexual dysfunction

What Neuropathy Feels Like 

Neuropathy can feel different for each individual, but some common descriptions include:

  1. Pins and needles – Many people with neuropathy experience a tingling or prickling sensation in their hands or feet. This can feel like pins and needles or a sensation of burning.
  2. Numbness – Some people with neuropathy experience a loss of sensation in their hands or feet. This can feel like a numbness or a lack of feeling.
  3. Shooting pain – Neuropathy can cause sudden, sharp pain that can feel like an electric shock. This pain can come and go, or it can be constant
  4. Burning sensation – Some people with neuropathy experience a burning sensation in their hands or feet. This can feel like a sensation of heat or warmth.
  5. Weakness – Neuropathy can cause weakness in the muscles of the hands or feet. This can make it difficult to perform tasks that require fine motor skills, such as buttoning a shirt or tying shoelaces.

Living with neuropathy can be challenging, as it can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. It can affect a person’s ability to perform daily tasks, such as walking, writing, and driving.  Neuropathy can also cause emotional distress, as the chronic pain and discomfort can be exhausting and frustrating.

Chemotherapy is a powerful cancer treatment that works by killing fast-growing cancer cells. Unfortunately, it can also harm healthy cells in the process, leading to side effects like hair loss, nausea, and fatigue. One side effect that is less well-known but can be quite debilitating is chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.

Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves and can cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning, and pain. Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy (CIN) is a specific type of neuropathy that is caused by chemotherapy drugs. It can affect both sensory and motor nerves, leading to a range of symptoms.

The exact mechanism by which chemotherapy causes neuropathy is not well understood. It is thought that the drugs may damage the nerves directly, interfere with the way nerves transmit signals, or cause inflammation in the nerves. Some chemotherapy drugs are more likely to cause neuropathy than others, and the risk of developing CIN can depend on factors like the dose of the drug, the duration of treatment, and the individual patient’s sensitivity.

The symptoms of Neuropathy caused by Chemotherapy can vary depending on which nerves are affected and how severely they are damaged. Some patients may experience only mild numbness or tingling, while others may have severe pain or weakness that makes it difficult to walk or perform daily tasks. The symptoms can be temporary or long-lasting, and they may improve after treatment is finished or persist for months or even years.

Patients with severe neuropathy may have difficulty walking, driving, or performing other activities that require fine motor skills. They may also experience depression, anxiety, or social isolation due to their symptoms. Additionally, neuropathy can make it difficult to tolerate other cancer treatments, like radiation therapy or surgery, which can further complicate patients’ care.

Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy is a significant side effect of cancer treatment that can have a profound impact on patients’ quality of life.

At the Neuropathy Treatment Clinic of Oklahoma, we understand the struggle of dealing with Neuropathy symptoms.

WHOLE PERSON TREATMENT

Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves in the body and can lead to a range of symptoms, such as numbness, tingling, and weakness. While there is no cure for neuropathy, nutrition can play an essential role in managing symptoms and slowing down the progression of the condition.

Here are some dietary tips that can help individuals with neuropathy:

  1. Increase intake of vitamins B1, B6, and B12: These vitamins play a critical role in nerve health and can help reduce neuropathic symptoms. Foods rich in vitamin B1 include whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Vitamin B6 can be found in poultry, fish, bananas, and potatoes. Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products such as meat, fish, and dairy.
  2. Consume antioxidant-rich foods: Antioxidants can help reduce inflammation in the body and protect nerves from damage. Foods that are high in antioxidants include fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries, cherries, spinach, and kale.
  3. Incorporate healthy fats: Healthy fats, such as those found in nuts, seeds, and oily fish, can help reduce inflammation in the body and promote nerve health.
  4. Limit intake of processed foods and sugar: Processed foods and sugar can lead to inflammation in the body and exacerbate neuropathic symptoms. Avoiding processed foods and limiting sugar intake can help manage symptoms.
  5. Stay hydrated: Dehydration can exacerbate neuropathic symptoms. It is essential to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and consuming other hydrating beverages such as herbal 

A healthy and balanced diet that includes nutrient-dense foods, healthy fats, and antioxidants can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of neuropathy. It is essential to work with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized nutrition plan that considers individual needs and goals.

Simple Exercises to Get Back to Getting Active

Exercise can be a difficult habit to start, especially when dealing with chronic pain. At the Neuropathy Treatment Clinic of Oklahoma, we understand that keeping an active life can help prevent the challenge of Neuropathy.

There are four things to remember when starting to exercise: aerobics, flexibility, strength, and balance.

Aerobic Exercises
Aerobic exercises are commonly known as cardio. The purpose of cardio is to get your heart rate up, work your muscles and create a better circulation of oxygen throughout the body. Taking a quick walk around the neighborhood, swimming, biking, and taking a fitness class is a great way to integrate cardio into your everyday routine! These are simple low-impact exercises to get you feeling stronger and healthier.

Flexibility Exercises
Flexibility is key to exercise, muscle recovery, and blood circulation. Incorporating stretching before exercise or even before you start your day can generate blood flow to your muscles and get you ready to be active throughout the day. Daily stretching can improve your range of motion, so you are less likely to strain or pull a muscle throughout your everyday activities.

Strength Training Exercises
Strength training and muscle growth are important because they can reduce falls and the risk of injury. Practicing these exercises will also increase your endurance and get you back you doing the things you love! An advantage to strength training is that it will help manage your blood sugar level by removing glucose from your blood and sending it into the muscles instead.

Balance Exercises
By improving your balance, you can prevent falls and accidents from instability. It can also get you feeling more confident when climbing stairs, taking walks, and even playing with the grandkids. One exercise you can try is holding onto the counter and standing on one foot for 10 seconds each, you will be surprised with the results you see!

Creating the habit of exercising can be difficult, but it will be incredibly rewarding in the long run.
