Ed– I'm scratching my head, too. ("I do scratch my head at times and wonder if any of these meds taken over many years may have caused the onset of PN and what supplements may or may not really help with our symptoms.") More pills to counter sepsis were added during the time I was in rehab. Twice daily a nurse would appear and hand me a cup: "Your pills, Ray." The cup would contain what seems like a two dozen pills. (I'm sure it was more like eight or ten.) I'd down 'em one-by-one, wondering all the while, "Now this pill: Is this for the sepsis? Or my PN? If it's for the sepsis, could it worsen my PN? If it's for my PN, will it lessen the effectiveness of it's meant to have for my sepsis?" I felt like I was being turned into a Mulligan stew of medications. –Ray

Ray - I hear you loud and clear and many of us who listen to our medical professionals, take their advice and follow through with taking supplements hoping it will reduce the effects of PN. Since the cause of PN remains a mystery for many of us, I think we are anxious to try what we think will work and it some cases, it does. Right now, without a cure, perhaps this is the best we can do.
