Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Ask your MD about ketamine, singly,or in combination. The main use originally was for Cancer patients,but some people have had success with it for general pain (non-specific?)

I just looked at three references, as recent as 2015. * Generally,they<br>concluded that it was worth the risks but that the patient has to be<br>monitored closely.*<br><br>

I absolutely agree with you but what happens when you have 8 autoimmune diseases and you have to take multiple Meds? Its very frustrating!

Which 8 autoimmune diseases do you have?

Were they diagnosed by the same doctor or team?

How many meds are you on?

Just trying to understand the situation.

I DO NOT THINK THAT IS PERIPHERAL BUT *MUSCULAR NEUROPATHY.*<br><br>*CHECK MAYO CLINIC.*<br>

ginny, I take a multi vitamin B called Nerve Renew that helps some, however I have found a pain pill (hydrocodone) to be the best treatment for me. The Nerve Renew was recommended by the Neurologist and I order it from Neurophy Treatment Group in Indiana over the Internet.

I have taken the Meds mention here. Those Meds over time , stress the liver and no longer helped. My liver test where not good, so now I take very little Meds and avoid damaging my liver miore with long term medicine useage. As I age , my body canno longer handle those strong Meds. Healthy eating and moving around gently helps. At night , I start mindfulness and drink tea and massage. I feel less stress, more in control and kettle to none pain med. if needed. And "no" , I am not a old person, just smart about my body's needs.

Yes! I too, am eating healthily. And the MayoClinic Rehab, did wonders for me. I learned a lot and it did change the way, I eat,sleep,relax, and just plain OFF "man-made " drugs! Pain can be refocus, and I learned to keep my pain, at a low level. I always overdo my things (like,work,walk a lot,clean,etc.), and then I pay the price at the end. Its' called "PUSH and CASH". I have pain still, but feel in control, with out heavy pain meds and, eat better and feel at "peace' with myself . Hope this helps others! Thank you, MAYO!
