Idiopathic neuropathy is a condition in which nerve damage or dysfunction occurs without a known underlying cause. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the affected areas. Diagnosis is typically made through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and nerve tests.
What are the different types of neuropathy?
The four major forms of nerve damage are polyneuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, mononeuropathy, and mononeuritis multiplex. The most common form is peripheral polyneuropathy, which mainly affects the feet and legs. Often the form of neuropathy is further broken down as to cause (see below), or other type, such as small fiber peripheral neuropathy, which is idiopathic. There are other less common forms of neuropathy, for example Enteric Neuropathy.11. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropathy

What antidepressant is prescribed more than others for fibromyalgia?
There are two antidepressants commonly used to treat Fibromyalgia, they are Savalla and Cymbalta. Both Savella and Cymbalta are serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), similar to many other antidepressants; however, it is not considered an antidepressant, and is approved for the treatment of Fibromyalgia. Cymbalta, however, is used to treat not only Fibromyalgia but also depression, anxiety, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A doctor may prescribe either of these for Fibromyalgia. As with any medication, different people react differently so one may work better for a particular person than another. It is important to understand that doctors do not prescribe these medications to Fibromyalgia patients to treat depression, but rather because they have been proven to decrease the joint and muscle pains associated with Fibromyalgia.
Are polyneuropathy and peripheral neuropathy the same disease?
No. These are two distinctly different conditions.
