Oh my gosh! Are there no special shoes this person can wear? I don't mean orthotics -- I mean special shoes entirely. Looks extremely painful!

[dannysmother]

@tracy10UT Yes. there are. But he still need his orthotics to prevent the foot drop.

There are certain neurological causes plus it can be genetical ... for this demyelination of peripheral nerves that lead to muscle atrophy can be one of the cause ...please check it with neurosurgeon / neurologist ..

I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in April of this year and tests later revealed I have a very, very rare form of Charcot Marie Tooth's disease. I am 23 years old and am expected to be in a wheel chair within a year. It is effecting every part of my body. This is such a horrible disease.

Why would food cause neuropathy if your not even diabetic? My blood sugar never spikes it's always perfect and I'm losing my vision.

@jhad1harold I started getting neuropathy 4 years ago, I'm 28 now and I wanted to ask what could cause this without it being diabetes or hypoglycemia? I didn't take any kind of medication they mentioned below and I never suffered an injury. It mostly revolves around what I eat. I also suffer from loss of vision which is so strange because my blood work came back perfectly and my blood sugar never spikes. Is there anything you can tell me that would help me out? I would really appreciate it.

You are still very much lucky because you can walk without using any crutches, i was a polio victim since 6 months young, i used to walk like you before, the only difference is only my left leg is affected by polio. I can walk before but when i started using a pair of crutches when i was 9 yrs, and years passed i realized that i cannot use my left leg anymore, its useless now and my toe is going curve i cannot manage to make it straight.

@dannysmother And yes, Statins are known to cause permanent nerve damage, very hard on the Myelin Sheath.

@dannysmother Good job, that stuff is toxic....even to healthy people. There is a Show on Animal Planet right now (Saved). Guy has CMT and ended up with kidney failure. I think it was probably due to him working out too much......which caused muscle breakdown (common in people with CMT) and this eventually wrecked his kidneys. Before I was Diagnosed with CMT1A the doctor though it was Carpal tunnel.....he gave me B6, about 30mg....which is contraindicated for CMT...wow, that put my body on fire.

I contacted Allison Moore, who has a foundation for CMT research and she says it's listed as a neurotoxin for CMT. In the list of medications that trigger peripheral neuropathy.
