Unfortunately, when it comes to neuropathy, the symptoms are not always in line with what is thought to be “normal”. When the internal organs are at risk of developing the disorder, patients may feel an upset stomach, suffer from diarrhea or constipation, among other internal ailments. Most doctors associate neuropathy with feet and extremities due to the highly sensitive nature of diabetics to this condition. In reality, the nervous system affected by the dysfunction span the entirety of your body, and thus may appear to be something unrelated.
If you are experiencing multiple symptoms of neuropathy, but have yet to be diagnosed, a second opinion may be in order.
