Neuropathy fatty liver

[glander2405]

Hi, I have fatty liver with minimal scarring. For last 6 years both my big toes have been numb from neuropathy. Recently I have started getting numbness in my thumbs and thighs. Has anyone else had such problems and what to do about it? My Dr prescribed 300mg gabapentin 2 times a day but doesn't really work, maybe a slight improvement but hardly noticeable. I started taking 1000mcg vitamin b12 and alpha lipoic acid, anyone else have any success with improving neuropathy. My ALT is still out of range at around 90, but AST in control at 40.

Have you been checked for diabetes? Neuropathy is often a symptom of undiagnosed diabetes.

I have pre diabetes, not full blown and never have been.

Hi, gabapentin not great and addictive. Just keep moving them twinkle them..eating well do things you enjoy ..then have herbal tea ..improve your blood cells..when ye get blood tests check what yer lacking..then find out the right food for it. Make sure it doesn't counteract with meds. I'm not a doc but they are pretty clueless on it..

I think your wrong there - gabapentin isn't addictive. I have terribly painful neuropathy in my hands and feet and wouldn't be able to function without it.

What dose are you on, and do you get side effects? do u try other things like vit b12 and ALA?

My recent blood tests showed AST at 25 and ALT at 23. The ratio is 1.08 for me. Is that OK?
