-There are many causes of peripheral neuropathy. It is a fairly common symptom of Th1 diseases (autoimmune diseases such as lupus and sarcoidosis) and indicates inflammation of the nervous system. Irritation to the nerve can also come from inflammation to the surrounding tissue (such as Rheumatoid Arthritis).+There are many causes of peripheral neuropathy  (({{pubmed>long:28983799}})).

 Impaired function and symptoms depend on the type of nerves -- motor, sensory, or autonomic -- that are damaged.  Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and pricking sensations, sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness. Others may suffer more extreme symptoms, including burning pain (especially at night), muscle wasting, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction. Impaired function and symptoms depend on the type of nerves -- motor, sensory, or autonomic -- that are damaged.  Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and pricking sensations, sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness.
