ALWAYS tired. ALWAYS dizzy! Always thirsty, and a new peripheral neuropathy, (numbness) in my feet. Brain fog. decreased sense of balance. Muscle weaknesses all over. MUST sleep at least a 1-2 hour nap/day. =(
Is this familiar to anyone else? Any tips to deal with any of these?
Taking magnesium, B12, turmeric, (Two weeks now, Naltrexone), eat basically healthy meals, (No sugar added, low fat, lots of greens and veggies). Slowed GI.

My peripheral neuropathy. COVID March 2020, disabiling peripheral neuropathy, leg weakness and pain by early 2021. Raynauds Diagnosis March 2021. I have already commented on my HUGE diet changes. I forgot one important addition. My PCP said "you are getting older, so it's typical to become weaker with age" Except, I went from perfectly fine and 3 miles on the treadmill in 2019 to I can handly walk by March 2021. "The miracle of L-Proline" I'm not recommending any supplements, please consult with your health care team, however, I thought, after some research, "since Collagen breaks down when you get older, why not try collagen supplements". I tried several but they made me nauseous. I took a close look and the key to collagen synthesis is proline and hydroxyproline. For example, one scoop of Vital Proteins has 1038 mg of Proline. (you can't get proline from a vege diet, it comes from meat and I don't eat any red meat and just a little chicken. I started taking 1500 mg of NOW L-proline and within a month, my legs were stronger. Neuropathy was gone and in 3 months I was back on the treadmill. I close friend who had MM and is ten years in post cancer recovery has extreme neuropathy. He started taking 2000 mg L-Proline and within 3 months he was able to walk better. Again check with your health care professional before making any changes. Good luck!
