[CH] Strange Question but not really O/T

Hi everyone,

Has anyone on this group developed peripheral neuropathy? "Neuropathic pain 
is pain caused by a condition affecting the nervous system (nerves, spinal 
cord or brain)."

I have had this for years but in the last 3 years it has grown madly and now 
I can barely walk.

I use a cream called Zostrix which is capsaicin based and it does ease some 
of the sharpest pains on the skin, but not much else of this disease which 
has a lot of different symptoms and is considered very serious. I am 
wondering about a link between it and consuming a lot of very spicy hot 
food.  Just wondering....

Thanks.
