I have recently tried Tumeric, and I am super surprised that I actually could tell a difference. It hasnt been a huge difference...but when you have diabetic peripheral neuropathy throughout your entire body, even the tiniest difference can make the biggest difference. I also basically diagnosed myself with Vitamin B, D, magnesium,and potassium deficiency because I was having these all over convulsions/jerks (they almost felt like seizures) every time I would try and relax or try and fall asleep and my daughter told me I would literally jump and twitch all night long. I went to my neurologist 3 times, the orthopedic 2 times and I can't even remember how many primary doctors I went to begging for help. That went on for almost 5 years and one day i was reading something about body jerks and the article mentioned areas of the body where spasms and twitches were more commonly happening and I thought it was worth a shot since it sounded exactly like what was going on with me and the spasms stopped the very next day and I haven't had 1 since!! I even asked the neurologist if my issues could be because of a vitamin deficiency and she said that most likely not because it is so rare. Come to find out, it's not all that rare. I'm still having the horrible neuropathy pain and sensitivity though. I feel like I'm getting bit or pinched a lot. I can scratch my arm and feel a pinch in my calf. Or I can just touch my foot and feel pins and needles pain on my head. The very worse thing I hate though is I am ALWAYS sweating! I'm always either too hot or too cold but even if I'm shivering cold, I'm STILL sweating. Does anyone else sweat like that with peripheral neuropathy?
