Peripheral Neuropathy

Other than gastro and neurologist what kind of doctor will treat this? My husband's PN is not from diabetes - that's been ruled out already. It could be B12 deficiency, but he's been tested for that and it was Ok.

Any suggestions?

Your regular PCP can treat B12 deficiency. They can order you B12 shots, they can give them in the office or you can do them at home. Usually you start out with a shot a day for a month, then they get reduced to a shot a week then either every 2 weeks or once a month, depending on how well the person is doing. There is a good book out there called, "Could It Be B12" by Sally PacholoK, RN and Jeffrey J Stuart DO--I got mine from amazon .com. A neuro can treat you for B12 deficiency too though. A friend of mine is being treated by his neuro.

I am trying to travel this road too. Sometimes you have to do it alone. Read about B12 in wrongdiagnosis.com. Open Original Shared Link It's a huge thread and I have learned so much there. If you privately message Sally, she will answer you.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
