It was taking the drug Ciprofloxin for a water infection that created the neuropathy in my hands and feet. After being left with tinnitus through having another antibiotic I realised that being ultra sensitive and with so many side effects to drugs I had to look for an alternative solution.
I also use magnesium flakes when taking a bath or soaking my feet when sensitive and painful. I also take magnesium tablets daily.
I realise that if we put our attention on the pain it seems to magnify and starts becoming all consuming creating other parts of our body (where we have problems) to awaken and be painful also.
So, after I have soaked my feet in magnesium salts I gently massage my feet (imaging that I am gently comforting a child) then gently cream them. It may sound bizarre but it actually calms the nerves of the foot down; all you are doing is calming the self without taking drugs.
Practicing mindfulness, meditation and calming the body are all ways of calming the nervous system down.
I hope these few words help others.
