| Response from Dr. Cohen
 Well, nueropathy is a misspelled version of the word neuropathy. Which is a term that refers to any disease of a nerve in the body. Most of the time, neuropathy refers to a problem of sensory nerves that can be damaged either by HIV itself, or some of the meds used to treat HIV. In that case, the neuropathy causes someone to feel numbness, tingling, or even discomfort in the nerves initially of the hands and/or feet. And there are some treatments for it. But there are others nerves and other types of neuropathy as a result -- since many nerves can be damaged by HIV. Hope that clarifies a bit. CC Cal Cohen, M.D., M.S. | ||||||||
