Polynereropathy is a group of diseases leading to the development of multiple inflammatory changes in peripheral and cranial nerves. The causes of polyneuropathies are different.
It can be alcoholism, diabetes, liver disease, kidneys, mercury salts, lead, copper, etc. heavy metals, vapors of organic solvents, varnishes and t.NS. Polyneeropathy can develop in the case of cancer.
For all polyneuropathies, regardless of nature, painful pains along the nerves, the feeling of crawling goosebumps in the brushes, footsteps, numbness in them. Hand and feet wet brushes on the touch, chopped. The above manifestations join weakness in hand and legs.
Depending on the nature of the disease, polyneuropathy are divided into several species. We give the most common of them.
Infectious polyneuropathy is characterized by acute principle by the type of feverish process with an increase in temperature to 38-39 °WITH. At the same time, pain in the limbs arise, weakness and paralysis of the muscles of the arms and legs develop, disruption of pain sensitivity by type «Gloves» and «socks», Revealed sharp soreness of nervous trunks.
At high temperatures (above 39 °C) you should reveal the patient, wipe with alcohol or vodka. Help reduce the temperature of the cold heater on the head - or cold compresses, ice, cold water bottles, laid along the large vessels of limbs and neck (on the area of the elbow, inguinal region, on the neck on both sides of the thyroid cartilage). In the presence of strong pains in the limbs showing painful agents. In the presence of infection, antibiotics are prescribed, with viral infection - antiviral drugs. From the first day of the disease, the vitamins of the group are shown in. In the absence of temperature, massage, igloreflexotherapy, laser therapy.
Diphtheria polyneuropathy occurs in 2-3 weeks from the moment of the disease. Due to the damage to the diphtheria toxin toxin of the blood cell and the wandering nerves in patients, swallowing is disturbed, there is an embarrassment, the pulse is studied and the breath is disturbed. Between the 30-50 days of the disease, the parasympathetic fibers and muscles of the neck, collapse with exhaustion and vomiting occurs. The patient can die from respiratory disorders and cardiac activity. Diffex polyneurite current - up to several months.
With this form of polyneuropathy, the main disease should be treated, the stimulation of breathing, cardiac activity, is shown by vitamin therapy.
Alcoholic polyneuropathy develops under the systematic use of alcohol due to its toxic effect on the nervous system and metabolism.
At first, weakness appear in the legs, pain in the calf muscles, the convulsive mixing of the toes, during palpation - the pain of the nervous trunks. Then the paresis and paralysis of the lower legs are developing, gait is disturbed - it reminds «Stamped», or «Petushina». As a result of sensitivity disorders, the patient seems to go all the time «vata», that floor «soft». Atrophy leg muscles, less often - hands.
Excessive sweating of legs and hands, the sonyuscity of the feet and hands, speech disorders, which becomes blurred as a result of the defeat nerve. As a result of the damage to the diaphragmal nerve, a persistent Icota may appear in the patient. Picture of Polynevrit is often combined with mental disorders in the form of memory disorders, disorientation at the location and time place; At the same time, the patient often talks about events that did not actually.
Treatment: Vitaminotherapy; Preparations that improve tissue metabolism and tissue breathing. Massage, healing physical education, iggoreflexotherapy.
Diabetic polyneuropathy develops against the background of diabetes mellitus over the course of moderate gravity and heavy.
For this type of polyneuropathy are characterized by pain in the legs, unpleasant feelings of tingling, burning, «crawling geasses». Later join the disorders of sensitivity in feet and hands, the decrease in tendon reflexes increases, eye disorders are observed.
Sugar diabetes sufferers should carefully monitor the diet, including more vegetables and fruits, fish, birds, fermented milk products (especially cottage cheese, bifoxifier); try to avoid exciting situations. When pain and unpleasant sensations, vitamins of group are useful in feet. Also used massage and needleflexotherapy, oxygen therapy, magnetotherapy, mud treatment.
Lead polyneuropathy (lead neurotoxicosis) develops slowly when systematic work with lead.
Initially, general weakness appear, irritability, poor sleep, headache, nausea, finger shake. Signs of lead poisoning: «Swinzovaya» (Blue-gray) curves on the gums, pale gray skin color, lead colic, spastic constipation, pain in the liver area. For lead polyneuropathy, paralysis of radiation and small -com nerves are characterized, as a result of which they develop «hanging» brushes, the impossibility of extending them; hanging «Konsky» Foot, the impossibility of their extension and standing on the heels, disorders of sensitivity in the brushes and foots «Gloves» and «socks». The defeat of the cranial nerves leads to the appearance of glazation disorders, speech disorder, swallowing.
In the blood is detected by anemia, raising lead. The lead is revealed and in the urine.
Arsenic polyneuropathy arises from the pharmaceutical industry workers, with mining of arsenic ores and when working with paints, when inhibiting arsenic to the body through a digestive tract, respiratory tract and skin.
Chronic poisoning is characterized by skin rashes, enhanced pigmentation and peeling of the skin, severe hair and nail growth. Cross white stripes appear on the nails. Muscle contractures and disruption of coordination of movements are possible. Characteristic pains, unpleasant feelings of numbness, tingling, burning in feet and hands, with palpation - a sharp pain in the course of nervous trunks, a decrease in muscle tone, less frequently paresa's muscles or small muscles of hands; Difficult skin dryness, her pigmentation, oroging, gum ulceration. Sometimes seizures, trembling limbs and bodies, memory disorder. The course of slow, in chronic poisoning remains lesion of the liver, intestines, stomach and t.D.
Treatment of lead and arsenic polyneuropathy. In the presence of precursors of the disease in the form of general weakness, headaches, skin changes, pain in the abdomen and t.D. working with lead or arsenic need to consult a doctor. Useful abundant stiff drinks (tea with raspberries, honey, hot milk and t.D.), Food rich in vitamins. Preparations for disinfection, vitamins of group B, E.
