It can sometimes take doctors quite a while to diagnose denture cream neuropathy. Part of the difficulty comes from the fact that denture cream neuropathy mimics many other neurological disorders. Its symptoms are especially similar to a group of illnesses known as demyelinating diseases.

A demyelinating disease is any illness that is caused by deterioration of the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve cells. The myelin sheath acts as a type of insulation for nerve cells, and without it the nervous system cannot function properly. All demyelinating diseases cause numbness or tingling in the extremities; muscle weakness, muscle spasms, or difficulty in moving; difficulties with coordination and balance; problems in speech or swallowing, visual problems, fatigue, acute or chronic pain, and bladder and bowel difficulties. …

If you use denture adhesives, and you suffer from neurological symptoms, including numbness, tingling and pain in the arms and legs, muscle weakness, and paralysis, you may be a victim of denture neuropathy. Only a blood test can determine if your symptoms are the result of zinc poisoning and copper deficiency.
