I see the neurologist and a chiro certified in neuropathy. The neurologist prescribed Flexeril, a muscle relaxer. It calms the “screaming” nerves. It masks the symptoms by preventing the pain signals from returning to the brain.

On the other hand, the chiropractor works on the root cause of neuropathy. His goal is to stop its progression and rebuild damaged nerves. This is achieved through 30 minutes of Rebuilder (electrical stimulation of my feet) and and 30 minutes of Anodyne (ultraviolet lights under my feet and behind the calves of my legs, morning and evening every day.

In addition, I drink two BluePrint supplements daily of Greensberry and VasoPro (adds nitric oxide to the bloodstream to provide oxygen to heal damaged nerves); and take InflammX (prevents inflammation) twice daily.

Diet is also important to avoid to food triggers. For the first 3 months I had two weekly office visits with Chiro consisting of spinal decompression, balance therapy and subluxation (adjustments). I now see the chiro weekly with monthly assessments.

So far, the neuropathy has not gotten worse and is trending in the right direction, albeit slowly. The chiropractor said upfront that depending on the extent of the damaged nerves, healing could take a long time.

Compared to the misery I was experiencing in August 2023, I feel so much better. I can walk normally again, can stand up from a sitting position much easier, more confident on stairs, and able to perform previous activities. Because of the severity of the pain in Aug 23, I mainly stayed home on the sofa and wore compression hose.

Because I feel better, I resumed my job again and got more involved in church again. I am a 75 years old retired civil servant and Realtor.

I hope that this is helpful to you and pray that you find something that helps you to cope. Yes, it is expensive, but I cannot take it with me. I am lucky that my husband is supportive. Best wishes and GodSpeed!!
