Peripheral neuropathy is a nerve disorder caused by damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord- the peripheral nerves. The peripheral nervous system is the nervous system outside the central nervous system which is the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system sends information from your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body. The peripheral nerves also send sensory information to the central nervous system. People with peripheral neuropathy can often experience weakness, numbness, and pain, most prominently in the hands and feet. It can also affect other areas and functions of the body, including digestion, urination, and circulation.  Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy The symptoms of Peripheral neuropathy depend on which type of nerve is affected. There are three types of nerves in the peripheral nervous system with specific functions respectively.  Motor nerves, sensory nerves and autonomic nerves are the three types of nerves in the periphera...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. It was named Lou Gehrig's disease after a baseball player was diagnosed with it. Amyotrophic disease is one of the most common types of motor neuron disease. ALS affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This effect on nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord causes a loss of muscle control. There is no cure for ALS yet. ALS affects the nerve cells (motor neurons) that control voluntary muscle movements such as walking and speech. ALS gradually degrades and kills motor neurons. Motor neurons span the brain, spinal cord, and muscles throughout the body. When motor neurons are damaged, they stop sending messages to the muscles and interfere with muscle function. Symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis  Symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis depend on which neuron is impacted and also vary from person to person. ALS when progresses causes muscle weakness, but in its initial stages, the symptom...
