The nerve doctors on utube have an in depth series on medications that can affect nerves directly and those that can cause damage through malabsorption of essential vitamins. Most daily vitamins are not formulated for nerve repair or with damaged intestines in mind. Correct biological forms of vitamins is critical. Excessive B6 or copper can cause nerve pain too. Arm yourself with a deep dive into the research on supplements and proper high quality foods that prevent nerve damage and promote repair. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are known for a cumulative damage effect on nerves. Sign up at drugs.com or rx.com and evaluate medications and any nutraceuticals. Demand to work with a nutritionist familiar with diets for patients with malabsorption or heavy use of antibiotics.

@Walkswithdogs2 Hi and thank you. Unsure if my issue is due to what you've mentioned however appreciate the information regarding finding a nutritionist familiar with malabsorption or heavy use of antibiotics. Are the doctors you refer to M.D.s?
