What Causes Neuropathy Along With Body Imbalance?

Posted on Thu, 4 Dec 2014

Question: Along with many other problems my husband has neuropathy and falls a lot. We have been going to Loyola for years & recently to a Wellness Path Chiropractor - nothing seems to help. He seems to be getting worse instead of better. A friend of mine suggested that he may have Heavy Metal Poisoning as he worked for Reynolds Metals for years. Can you recommend some help for us as to where to go and/or what to do.
Thank you!

Brief Answer:
Please tell me about the blood reports

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. To help you better please tell me-
1. Does he have chronic disease like diabetes, thyroid dysfunction?
2. Does he smoke and take alcohol?
3. What is the other problem beside frequent falls like memory?
Based on your description it could be the common Parkinsonism. This needs a physical examination to confirm. Regarding metal toxicity we need to know the detail of his job at Reynolds and the health condition of his colleague working with him.
Looking forward to your reply and would be glad to help you further.
Regards
