Weak nerves
Neuropathy refers to general diseases and neuropathy. Neuropathy is often classified according to the type or location of the infected nerves, and nerve weakness can be classified by the diseases it causes. For example, neuropathy Diabetes Diabetic Neuropathy.
Treatment of weak nerves
The treatment of nerve weakness by controlling symptoms and treating the cause of the weakness of the nerves, in many cases treatment of the cause of neuropathy is very useful in reducing or disappearance of symptoms of neuropathy, and in other cases when the cause of neuropathy pressure on the nerves as a tumor , The treatment in this case is also surgery, in the case of diabetes mellitus, control of blood sugar levels is important to prevent damage and greater damage to the nerves.
Pain relievers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen can relieve pain that can be caused by nerve weakness or damage that can result from this condition, but generally can not control the pain caused by neuropathy. That these drugs can cause excessive treatment to do more harm, so it is advised to take these painkillers with caution, while other drugs that can be taken to alleviate the pain caused by nerve weakness and control, are as follows:
- Antidepressants The FDA has approved the use of antidepressants in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy, a drug of depression that can be used in this case Duloxetine. Other examples of tricyclic antidepressants are ametriptyline (in English: Amitriptyline) and Imipramine.

- There have been studies showing the effectiveness of a single dose of 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid in the treatment of short-term diabetes neuropathy. However, these studies have yet to prove the effectiveness of this treatment in the long run.
- If previous treatments fail to control the pain, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation can be performed, although information on the efficacy of this method is not yet sufficient. However, the 2010 directive of the American Academy of Sciences The American Academy of Neurology has reported that this method can be effective in relieving the pain caused by diabetic neuropathy.
Home remedies and treatments for the condition of weak nerves
People with weak nerves should pay special attention to feet to reduce the chance of ulcers and foot infections. Feet is the most common area of the body and is affected by weak nerves.

Types of nerve weakness
There are several types of neuropathy, which are as follows:
Peripheral neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy results in damage to peripheral nerves in the body, and peripheral or peripheral nerves transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. People with peripheral neuropathy describe nerve pain as a sensation of stinging, burning or pricking, The symptoms of the patient may improve, especially if the cause of neuropathy is treatable, and medications may relieve the pain caused by peripheral or peripheral neuropathy.
Causes of peripheral nerve damage, including diabetes, can also lead to peripheral nerve injury, infection, metabolic problems, genetic problems, and exposure to toxins. More specifically, these are the causes of neuropathy. Peripheral or peripheral:
- Addiction to alcohol that may make the choices of food addicts bad; leading to a lack of vitamins that lead to peripheral neuropathy.
- Diabetes: More than half of diabetic patients suffer from neuropathy.
- Some types of drugs, especially the chemical drugs used in the treatment of cancer leukemia, can cause peripheral neuropathy.
- Immune diseases such as Sjogren’s syndrome, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis or Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
- Examples of infection that can lead to neuropathy include Lyme disease, herpes zoster infection, hepatitis C virus, leprosy, diphtheria, or HIV.
- Vitamin B deficiency, or B6, or vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to peripheral neuropathy, and vitamin E and niacin deficiencies can cause neurological problems because these vitamins are important for the safety of the nerves in the body.
- Some diseases such as kidney or liver disease, connective tissue disorders or hypothyroidism.
- Oncology.
- Bone marrow problems.
The symptoms that a peripheral neuropathic patient can suffer are as follows:
- A sense of fineness, numbness and tingling in the feet and hands, this display gradually shows, and can also lift the tingling and drowsiness to the legs and arms.
- Sensitive sensitivity to touch.
- Fall and lack of consistency during movement.
- Weakness of the muscles, or injury to paralysis in the event of damage to the motor nerves.
Cranial neuropathy
Cranial neuropathy occurs when any of the twelve cranial nerves, which are directly originating from the brain, are damaged. Examples of cranial neuropathy include optic neuromuscular neuropathy and neuropathy. Visual neuropathy is caused by damage to the optic nerve Transferring visual signals from the retina to the brain, and auditory neuropathy responsible for hearing, produces auditory neuropathy from nerve damage that transmits signals from the inner ear to the brain.
Independent neuropathy
Autonomic neuropathy occurs when autonomic nervous system damage occurs. These nerves control the heart and circulatory system, including blood pressure. They are also the nerves responsible for digestion, intestines, bladder, sexual response and sweating. Other nerves of other organs may be affected.
Focal neuropathy
Focal neuropathy is a neuropathy or a specific group of nerves or when a specific area of the body is affected by neuropathy.
