Eliminating Foods for Neuropathy pain

Me too! Thanks for validating my results.

Mick Jagers in his eighties Loma Linda Medical Neuropathy center claims 90% success and even rejuvenating nerves. It's a free call. I am trying to go as soon as I can.

@cgs
How does Loma Linda claim to achieve a 90% success rate? Are they offering a new treatment?
Jake

@cgs @jakedduck1 and others, There are a couple of discussions on the Loma Linda Neuropathy Center where others have shared their experience.

Thank you, I read the information and comments and followed John's links. It is interesting.

I don't have peripheral neuropathy, I have Axonal Sensory Neuropathy - a different condition. It's like my whole body being incinerated and electrocuted at the same time while swarms of wasps are stinging and swords are jamming up through the feet to the brain. Unmedicated, it gets worse by the minute. The condition with medication still worsens with aging. Gabapentin (the Horizant brand) is the only thing I have found that works. I'm now at the highest doses that politicians will let doctors prescribe.

I take it twice a day and most of the time, I'm very normal. I have friends, hobbies, walk on the beach and go to the gym every day (7/365), and do a little work. My life has been adventurous and funny so I'm compiling all it into a book. Writing it amuses me and telling the stories amuses my friends and audiences. I mostly enjoy a good life - as long as I can get the medicine.

Half an hour before each dose, I start feeling it again: a little burning, a little stinging, a few small electric shocks, a jab here and there. It feels scary. I take the medicine and wait for it to subside. Sometimes, it's worse, it keeps me awake all night or keeps me isolated most of the day. I distract myself by writing, doing puzzles, reading or playing music.

I'm hypoglycemic so I eat healthy, no sugar, chocolate, booze, illegal drugs, nicotine, etc. I only drink a little caffeine, I like spices. I'm trying to find a correlation between anything I ingest and the days when neuropathy is worse - if I have to quit yet another thing that I like, I will. It gets easier to quit one more thing.

That's what I struggle with. Everyone has problems. The elderly people I know struggle with pain from one cause or another. Most young people are going to struggle to survive in an over-crowded world of diminishing resources. The wealthy people I know have their problems too, many of them feel unloved and insecure.

Thank you all for sharing information about the solutions you are trying. I haven't tried acupuncture yet ... have you? Does medicare cover it?

I don't know if I have peripheral neuropathy, or Axonal Sensory Neuropathy or some other form of neuropathy-as I am in the testing stage but I do know your description of your condition is much like my own. I want you to know that your positive attitude and approach to your condition is very encouraging and uplifting. It gives me something to think about beside my discomfort.
I would be interested in knowing more about your experience with Gabapentin. I am up to 900mg and hate to keep increasing it. I started with 100 in Dec, was up to 600 in June when I increased again to 900. I find an ice pack or gel chilled slip-ons. I find the cold helps.Betty

I wish you all the best, Carolyn. I also started with 100 Gaba, then when my condition worsened, doctors increased it gradually to keep me comfortable enough to function. I don't take any more medicine than I have to. Now and then I quit or cut down one of my medicines just to see if I still need it. I've been able to quit some of them, but not gabapentin. When I got up to the maximum dose, my doctor said there was a new thing, Horizant, it is gaba but extended release and the numbers used are different (600 Horizant is stronger than 800 Gaba). I started Horizant by taking the smallest dose and we gradually increased as my condition progressed and the symptoms grew unbearable again. I haven't had any bad side effects with gabapentin or Horizant. I understand that some drug addicts get gabapentin any way they can because it makes them feel weird if they don't have the conditions it was designed to alleviate (epilepsy or neuropathy). They like to feel weird so they take more and more of it until they get sick and have to go to the emergency room. Gabapentin makes me feel normal - I like to feel normal. I heard an alcoholic say that she quit drinking, then a drug dealer said she could take gabapentin and be high without drinking, so she took 16 capsules (which is 16 times as much as doctors recommend to real patients) , and got so ill that she was in the hospital for a month.

@pfbacon
It's nice to read this medicine is helping to ease your symptoms. My brother and I both have epilepsy and neuropathy. It helps his neuropathy but never helped my neuropathy or seizures.
Take care ,

First Every one's Body is different so that said I was only given Gabapentin from civilian hospital for first 12 years of my feet neuropathy it made discomfort bearable but messed with my balance and was like a super sleeping pill side effects were terrible but pain forced taking it. Then I signed up with VA and was given Pregabalin which I read it Lyrica what a difference no side effects and it was better at times than Gabapentin which I was up to 1800 a day. Just passing along my Personal Gabapentin story. Sending this with prayer which really helps me.
