Information about Peripheral Neuropathy?

I have recently found out I have Peripheral Neuropathy and am in the process of finding the cause. I have already had the EMG, which diagnosed it, blood work; it came back normal, and an MRI; I see the doctor about it in a few days. Is anyone else dealing with this? If so, did they find out what causes it, and how has it affected you? Thanks!

peripheral neuropathy refers to the variety of conditions that result when the nerves from the rest of the body that connect to the brain and spinal cord are damaged or diseased

Damage to these nerves interrupts communication between the brain and other parts of the body and can impair muscle movement, prevent normal sensation in the extremities, and cause pain.

There are many different kinds of peripheral neuropathy with many different causes -- from carpal tunnel syndrome (an injury common after chronic repetitive use of the hands and wrists -- such as computer use) to Guillain-Barre syndrome (a rare, sudden paralysis).

up to one in three cases, the cause cannot be determined. Diabetes is responsible for another third. Other known causes include several rare inherited diseases, alcoholism, toxins and certain environmental agents, poor nutrition or vitamin deficiency, trauma due to compression, herniated discs in the back, certain kinds of cancer, conditions where nerves are mistakenly attacked by the body's own immune system or damaged by an overaggressive response to injury, particular medications, kidney disease, thyroid disease, and infections such as Lyme disease, shingles or AIDS.
