Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Topic: Amyloidosis Subject: Peripheral Neuropathy and Amyloidosis You may have come up with something which explains your problems and it is VERY important that you share this information with bothof your physicians. Amyloidosis is a disease in which abnormal protein polymers or aggregates are laid dowm in multiple organs, it usually occurrs in response to chronic infection or inflammation and given your history of chronic hepatitis you would be a likely candidate. Amyloid is laid dowm as I mentioned in multiple organs,including skin, spleen, kidneys and peripheral nerves. In solid organs it can cause enlargement,in peripheral nerves it can cause neuropathy. The diagnosis can be made by a biopsy of a peripheral nerve or any other involved tissue, I would bring this to the attention of your neurologist as it is obviously very relevant ot your subsequent evaluation and treatment.

Peripheral Neuropathy a Simple FactSheet from the A IDS T reatment D ata N etwork Peripheral neuropathy is: A condition caused by damage to the nerves in the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system includes nerves that run from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Many of these nerves are involved with sensation and feeling things such as pain, temperature and touch. Up to one-third of people with HIV may get some symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is usually felt at first as tingling and numbness in the hands and feet. Symptoms can be described as burning, shooting pain, throbbing, aching, and "feels like frostbite" or "walking on a bed of coals." Peripheral neuropathy can sometimes be caused by HIV but is most commonly a side effect of drugs. Sometimes neuropathy can be caused by vitamin deficiencies or diabetes. Diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy is done by a physical exam. Tests of vitamin B12 levels, thyroid function and glucose levels are also used to check for vitamin deficiencies or diabetes. If peripheral neuropathy is caused by a drug, the symptoms usually get better once the drug is stopped, although it can take 6-8 weeks and the pain can actually get worse for a while. Some other conditions can have the same symptoms and be confused with peripheral neuropathy. A symptom of CMV myelitis is a general weakening of the legs and is treated with anti-CMV drugs. Vacular myelopathy can cause numbness in the limbs and weakening of the spinal cord. New treatments are being studied for myelopathy.
