Understanding Neuropathy Disorders

Neuropathy occurs when nerves in the body are damaged or malfunction. Neuropathy itself is not a disease, but rather it is a condition caused by other illnesses or injury including diabetes, traumatic injuries, autoimmune disorders (such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), tumors, infections, genetic conditions, and toxic chemical exposure. Idiopathic neuropathy is the term used to describe neuropathies where the cause is unknown. Idiopathic neuropathy is a disabling condition that insurance companies love to deny because the symptoms are not tangible, and are difficult to test for, very by each patient, and there is no known. This makes it easy for a long-term disability insurance company to deny the claim based on the opinion of their own doctors and the patient’s medical records without ever meeting the neuropathy sufferer.

People with neuropathy experience a variety of symptoms due to the damaged or malfunctioning peripheral nervous system including:

• Burning, deep pain or numbness in their feet, legs, and arms
• Muscle control may be grossly affected
• Problems with body organs, such as the heart and digestive system

Diabetes is the most common cause of neuropathy, causing the loss of sensation in the diabetic patient’s toes and feet. This often leads to injuries to the foot going unnoticed until a serious infection has occurred. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the leading causes of toe and foot amputations in the United States. Diabetic neuropathy is a progressive condition that may cause further lack of sensation in the legs fingers and hands of the diabetic patient.
