Davis Neuropathy Group meets next week
Do your feet or hands tingle? Do they feel like they are numb, burning or freezing? Do you have stinging, stabbing or shooting pains? Do you feel like you are wearing a stocking or glove when you’re not?
You may have peripheral neuropathy, the most common disease most folks have never heard of, said a spokesman for a local support group.
There are more than 100 causes for peripheral neuropathy symptoms: Diabetes accounts for about one-third, but other causes include heredity, alcoholism, radiation, toxic chemical exposure, HIV, too much vitamin B6, gluten intolerance, some medications and unknown origin (idiopathic).
About 2 million Californians have peripheral neuropathy.
To learn more from others with similar symptoms and to receive support, anyone interested is invited to attend the Davis Neuropathy Group’s next meeting, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Davis Senior Center, 646 A St.
