Peripheral Neuropathy
My age is 23 and my MDR-TB treatment is from last 5 month and suffering from peripheral Neuropathy ( tingling and numbness in feet, pain like needle, loss of feel ). This is happening because of Linezolid 600mg tablets and other tb medicines. Because of this I'm not able to sleep, or seat calmly. Can anyone please help me to get relief from peripheral Neuropathy
