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. Is neuritis common?Doctor's answer:
Peripheral neuropathy has a relatively high incidence rate, referring to a general term for peripheral nerve damage caused by various different reasons. For example, long-term hyperglycemia can lead to abnormal peripheral nerve sensation. Additionally, idiopathic neuritis, multiple demyelinating lesions, and other conditions can all cause peripheral neuropathy. The onset is often insidious, with symptoms progressively worsening. Patients may experience symmetrical sensory impairment in the distal limbs. In severe cases, the condition may also be accompanied by abnormal limb movement and autonomic nerve dysfunction.
