Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I have a question that I know can be answered by some of us diabetics but for someone that is not diabetic and has Neuropathy do you have any idea what could cause it. My sister-in-law is about to go out of her mind with it. Her Dr has run tests and she is not Diabetic, he gave her a prescription $99 for a bottle and didn't help a bit. She cannot get in to see a neurologist until March the 11th (even on an emergency basis) sad but true. The Dr sent her a prescription for Elivil (an antidepressant) and it helped a little which seems funny because she is the most undepressed person I know of. Please if anyone know what could cause this or anything she can do for it let me know either through the group or on my regular e-mail. Thanks, Helen H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hi Helen, Has your sister in-law had a MRI? She could have a crushed nerve if she has a disc problem. Ask her if she has had a MRI and if not she may want to ask her doctor. Good luck to your family. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 No she hasn't she cannot get in to see a neurologist until March the 11th. I am sure they will do tests then, right now the Elivil seems to be helping. Thanks, Helen H Re: Somewhat off Topic Hi Helen, Has your sister in-law had a MRI?
