I use a walker when not home. At home i hold onto things and I have a great man
My research did not find those pineapple claims had any basis. Greenland, in fact, has high neuropathy derived from diabetes. If those basic facts don’t add up, I can’t trust the rest of the pitch. Disappointing,
I am in process of hopefully getting my money back.

1 ReactionI always thought of myself as a critical thinker. Somehow, physical discomfort puts a dent on that under the influence of marketing with a convincing “ doctor” and script. It becomes easier to just “ click” with Hope , rather than go through of research once again before buying. Lesson learned for Nerve Bliss,

1 ReactionYour nerves have been demyelinated either thru alcohol or low B12 diet most of life or both. Try taking plenty of METHYLCOBALAMIN till urine looks green. That's when your liver can't hold any more. Then go to 4.5 micrograms daily. That is a 100 gr. steak. Good luck.
Have you been tested by your neurologist for any movement disorders? There are a couple. One is Ataxia, another Functional movement disorder or FND.
I have FND.
The test simply involves watching your eye movements, how you walk, etc. it’s an easy procedure.
Good luck.

1 ReactionCompletely understandable. I just ordered a jar of something for my chemo foot neuropathy using the same decision set!
I use lidocaine cream too and it does gives relief. Thanks

1 ReactionI also use a walker at home, as well as a cane when at work. I have already had a very serious fall about a year ago, so I am very careful when I walk. My husband is a great help for support, but I feel very helpless and guilty for him having to do so much for me. I have always been so independent all my life, so this has caused me a lot of depression. To think that in this day and age that there is no hope, no cure, and that it will only get worse as time goes by, is hard to accept.
