Question: Hello Doctor, I had symptoms of tingling and XXXXXXX vibrations like sensation in my both foot due to which i consulted an neurologist, who first suggested some tests, everything came normal such as Vit b-12, vit-d , Hba1c,blood sugar, folic acid etc, so he diagnosed it "Parathesias" & prescribed me gabapentin 100 mg once daily for 1 week and then twice for another 2 weeks and stop it, relief was instantly noticed and symptoms improved significantly but when i was about to complete 2 weeks dosage, the same sensation erupted again though at minor intensity but there was significant lightness sensation in calf muscles of my both legs as if they don't got any power also nerve pulling sensation in tooth/gums at one side noticed ,so i again consulted same doctor, he now prescribed me once 300 mg of gabapentin for 2 weeks along with Evion- LC and told me to revert after 2 weeks, I just wanna know doctor, as a second advice from you, whether this can be cured even through these medicines or i have to take these forever??? Can gabapentin even cure these permanently? I am totally frustrated as i almost reached close to finish the dosage of medicines but now i have to take these again? Please help me.

Brief Answer:
Peripheral neuropathy to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have read your question.

In my opinion, peripheral neuropathy is a condition that should be considered and evaluated further in your case.

Besides the tests that were done, nerve conduction study and EMG are necessary to evaluate this possibility correctly.

Besides vitamin deficiencies and diabetes that were excluded by the tests, viral infections, compression on nerves, heavy metals loading, etc. may be linked to peripheral neuropathy.

The drugs that you are using are ment mainly for symptomatic relief, the treatment consists on the finding the cause and treating it.

Discuss with your Neurologist these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
