Doctor did not recommend. Just did a lot of research. I love nightshade vegetables, especially peppers. I've cut them completely out of my diet, increased my magnesium instake through topical lotions and my nerve pain and flare ups have decreased dramatically. Don't get me wrong, I still have symptoms daily, they're just not as bad and I'm not taking any opioids or benzos. Decreasing my intake of gabapentin, hoping to be off by the end of the year. I'm still struggling tremendously with fatigue. I hate taking medications, anything I can do without popping a pill that's going to screw up my brain, heart, or other organs, I'm all for.
