Neuropathy & Exercise
How have you received enough physical exercise while dealing with neuropathy?? Do you walk in spite of the condition; tiptoe to get around; particular exercise program, etc.?

@darlingtondoll Oh that would bother me . Tell him to eat in another room that's mean . I can imaging your taste buds are drooling
My nephrologist told me to increase my dietary potassium, so while my husband consumed his chips, I had a huge artichoke with my lunch. I eat it California style. I steam it for 45 minutes and then place it in the fridge to cool. Then I peel off each leaf and score the underside of the leaf using my lower teeth and slowly eat the tasty treat. I dip each leaf in a sauce and continue on for about 30 minutes (I need some time to enjoy my wine). When I get to the choke, I twist it off and finally get to the heart of the artichoke. It is so delicious and I am happy to be able to eat this again. I make my sauce from an avocado. This is also high in potassium. The doctor told me to eat more forbidden foods like tomatoes and potatoes too.

3 Reactions@fiesty76 Haha!! I have recently said the same thing about helping my dentists child go to college on our families dental expenses. From a neurological perspective...it is miserable on me to sit in that chair for dental work. Really tormenting and painful to my body and head. Makes me motivated more than ever to floss and flouride rinse!

1 ReactionI brush every night before I go to bed, so that plaque doesn't sit on my teeth all night eating holes in them, and so that food debris between my teeth doesn't putrefy and cause bad breath. Brushing in the morning is like closing the barn door after the horses are out. Peggy
@darlingtondoll Good for you Jane I wouldn't be good to eat any of them as I dont care for artichoke except in spinach artichoke dip and I cant eat nightshade vegies . My fibro flares when I do . I use advocado in my smoothies . I scoop a teaspoon put in plastic wrap and freeze when I want it I use one then .
@darlingtondoll, Now those instructions I would love to hear from my docs! Some of my favorites, you mentioned! Have been told the best test of the perfect artichoke is to squeeze the leaves; if they squeaks choose it...have you heard that, too?
@darlingdoll, Sugar on your tongue? Welll, you are just Planning ahead for an extra hot jalapenos, yes???? Smart thinkin' friend! Smiles
I used to live where they grow in California. So I am spoiled and know that they must look closed up tightly. I used to go directly to the farms to buy them.
I love to make chili, but I don’t put jalapeños in it. I don’t like to burn my mouth. But I do like to have it a little spicy.
@darlingtondoll, When my daughter lived in San Fran. we took some trips to both wine country and artichoke country. I was enthralled with the many roadside stands along the way selling artichokes served every which way possible.
