Neuropathy is used to describe nerve problems in the peripheral area of the Nervous system. The Central Nervous System is composed of the brain and spinal cord. Nerve problems can result from underlying health conditions, such as diabetes. Three nerve types can be affected – sensory nerves, motor nerves, or autonomic. Neuropathy may be limited to a particular set of nerves. Bell's Palsy is a condition which affects the nerves and muscles of the face.

Nerves can be damaged by injury, toxins, drugs, alcohol, infections and from metabolic problems, and inheritance disorders. Vitamin deficiencies and folic acid deficiencies can also cause nerve problems. In many cases, neuropathy is idiopathic, which means the cause it not known. Diabetic neuropathy leads to a loss of sensation in the feet, similarly, in Guillain- Barre syndrome peripheral neuropathy is the result of a virus. More commonly Shingle is an infection that affects the nervous system.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis.
