Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. How effective is the treatment for neuritis?Doctor's answer:
Manifests as symmetric sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunction predominantly affecting the distal limbs, often more severe in the lower limbs. In the initial stages, it is typically characterized by sensory abnormalities or hyperesthesia such as burning, pain, or numbness in the fingertips, gradually progressing to sensory hypoesthesia or anesthesia. The distribution of sensory deficits resembles a glove or stocking pattern, with a minority of patients experiencing deep sensory impairment. Attention should be paid to preventing neuritis, and dietary adjustments should be made to ensure balanced nutrition while avoiding excess, which could lead to obesity. Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Strengthening exercise is beneficial for enhancing cardiopulmonary function, improving the condition of the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems, and boosting disease resistance.
