Can Neuropathy be cured?

Posted by catstx @catstx, Sep 8, 2021

I’ve had P. neuropathy for 30 years. Just recently I’ve better controlled my blood sugar. So, I’m wondering if Neuropathy ever goes away, Or, if once the nerves are dead they’re just dead

I have no idea what b6 does.
I just know that most seniors are low B12. B12 is made in cobalt rich soils. Grazing animals pull up grass contain it ( cobalamin) . Us seniors have less stomach acid. The B12 molecules gets separated and goes thru intestine wall into bloodstream. Seniors have less acid. Trouble is, most seniors have also damaged their 20 ft small intestine wall by drinking alcohol .

@jamessaxo Thank you for your input.

It never goes away. Even when we die it’s still there. It’s one of those things that all people everywhere share if they live into old age.

NO, it cannot be cured, all they can do is try to treat your symptoms.

Unfortunately, as of today, there is no cure for neuropathy. I was disappointed and a bit scared when I learned that although it is progressive, there is no way to bring it to an end. Some research is being done with nerve regeneration....since they take so long to heal but not in the near future.

What is happening that can help are the development of medications and treatments that can mitigate the symptoms of neuropathy. My #1, cannot live without, is MFR, myofascial release therapy. When the fascia in your body becomes restricted and stuck, pain erupts. I now have two sessions a week and may need more as my neuropathy progresses. The second thing that can work is a solid medical cannabis program with different dosages at different times during the day. For me, a morning pick me up starts my day, and an afternoon, relax and rest calms me down, and then another dosage type before bedtime ensures restorative sleep.

Since you have been living with PN for 30 years, how have you handled it? What do you need now that would make your quality of life better?

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
