Mecobin Plus ALA capsule

The peripheral nervous system is made up of other nerves that
connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. It functions
to send messages to and from the central nervous system allowing the
body to respond to stimulators such as pain. Peripheral neuropathy
occurs when the peripheral nerves are damaged, interfering with the
sensory messages causing numbness or pain at the affected nerves.

There are numerous causes of neuropathy with diabetes being one of the
common causes where nerves are damaged due to periods of exposure to
high amounts of sugar in the blood and nearly 60% diabetes patients
experience some form of nerve damage. These excess sugar molecules forms
a bond with a protein or lipid molecule in a reaction termed glycation
that directly damages nerves in the body. Hyperglycemia also decreases
blood circulation and leads to poor recovery in nerves. Other more
common causes include:
• Trauma/accident that leads to nerve damage
• Nutritional deficiency e.g. Vitamin B12 caused by poor intake or certain conditions such as pernicious anaemia
• Idiopathic neuropathy (causes unknown) generally occurs among the elderly

Signs and Symptoms
Neuropathy, in general, can affect nerves in any location of the body
and presentation of symptoms is based on the type of nerves affected.
Peripheral neuropathy usually affects the hands and feet. Common
symptoms include:
• Numbness or insensitivity to pain or temperature
• Tingling, burning, or pin prick sensations
• Sharp pains or cramps
• Extreme sensitivity to touch, even light touch
• Loss of balance and coordination
• Loss of sensation in the extremities in diabetics can be dangerous as
wounds may go unnoticed leading to further infection of what could have
possibly been a minor wound.
