Sam sorry you are going through so much too. I have been online all day, researching. I have diabetes2, diabetes neuropathy, severe hip arthritis, dr doesn't understand why my hip hasn't cracked off. I can't stand on my legs for long, just enough to get to the bathroom. I am in constant fear I will fall and break my hip. I am 76 y o. I pray that all of us seekers of reversing these medical problems find a way to heal. no fun on a walker. I see an orthopedic dr on the 15th I've had to wait 2 mos. my mouth is bothering me now wonder which drug is causing that.
