Peripheral neuropathy. It is definitely a diagnosis, often in diabetics with ketones not carried away in peripheral vasculature which remain and degrade/destroy nerve endings, and the microvasculature gets degraded as well. Can lead to amputation of necrosing limbs if not treated. Doubt Xiden is diabetic- but, could be. Neuropathy is a real thing aside from diabetics as well— due to poor return vasculature of blood back to the lungs for oxygenation.
I have peripheral neuropathy and don’t have diabetes. Have had it for years and Lyrica [or its generic form] aid in minimizing the nerve pain. It IS a thing. Thanks for explaining it further.
