Can you get tremors with peripheral neuropathy?
yes absolutely...I have tremors with axonal neurapathy.
What causes idiopathic neurapathy?
"Idiopathic" means "we don't know why this is happening." "Neuropathy" (I assume this is what you meant) means "any disease of the nervous system--especially the parts that are away from the brain and spinal column itself." So "idiopathic neuropathy" means "you have some disease of your nervous system but we don't know what is causing it." I hope this helps you, even though the result ends up being so ambiguous that it probably isn't particularly helpful. At least you are among a huge company of people--there are many diseases or disorders which have "idiopathic" as part of their name. Having a big word that means "we don't know" might strike some as being a bit of smoke and mirrors. Another way of looking at it, however, shows some benefit of identifying a disease as "origin unknown." One of the obvious things that guides the treatment of any disease is figuring out why the disease began. For example, someone with dangerously low blood flow throughout their legs should be treated differently if their problems started because of diabetes than if the problem started because of blood clots in key arteries. That is, two people with the same outcome (low blood supply in the legs) should be treated differently if the primary causes are different. So why is there any benefit in saying "we don't know why this happened?" By labeling a disease "idiopathic" it will keep reminding physicians they should move ahead carefully in treating you, and that what worked for some other person may not be what will work for you. When all the research and experience of physicians is not clear about why a particular disease or disorder occurs, I would rather have the people who are treating me remember that they (collectively) should be careful about making assumptions about my situation rather than steamrolling ahead as if my situation is the same to that of someone else.

DISEASES OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. I. DISEASE OF THE MOUTH. ACUTE STOMATITIS. Definition.-An acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the mouth, occurring most frequently in children, though no age is exempt. Etiology.-The causes that give rise to stomatitis are generally local, though it may rise from gastric or intestinal derangements, chemical and mechanical irritants being the most common, such as sharp edges of broken or carious teeth; very hot drinks, such as tea and coffee; highly spiced food; tobacco, both chewing and smoking; irritating dust inhaled at certain work, such as lime, coal, marble, and workers in various minerals; the corrosive acids or alkalies; and sometimes from the decomposition of food lodged between the teeth, and fetid cavities. It may also be caused by dentition, or follow the eruptive fevers. Symptoms.-The inflammation is attended by the following symptoms: heat, pain, redness, and swelling. At first the mouth is dry and hot, with a burning, smarting sensation; but soon secretion is established, and mucus and saliva are found in excess. This condition is often called catarrhal stomatitis. Mastication is painful, and hot drinks, and coarse food give rise to pain. The tongue is coated, the breath is fetid, and the child becomes peevish and cross. In a few days the disease loses its angry character, the inflammation becomes subacute, while the mouth is bathed in a ropy, offensive mucus. Diagnosis.-The diagnosis is easily made. The red, inflamed character of the mucous membrane; the tenderness, the burning sensation, dry mouth, followed by hypersecretion of mucus, are symptoms which can not be mistaken for those of any other trouble. Prognosis.-The prognosis is favorable, the disease usually giving way in a week or ten days. Treatment.-This is simple and quite successful. After thoroughly cleansing the mouth with a weak solution of pyrozone, or a wash of The Eclectic Practice of Medicine - PART IV - Digestive System - Page 1 The Southwest School of Botanical Medicine http://www.swsbm.com
