Can Neuropathy be cured?
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

@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.
@artscaping what dosing did you use of the CBD to control your neuropathy?
This is an excellent article/summary from Jama on peripheral neuropathy

In scientific terms it may never go away; however, I have a celiac-like autoimmune condition and since going gluten free, the neuropathy, along with other symptoms I had, has greatly diminished. I also find that stress and emotions may play a part in the causation of neuropathy. The bottom line is that it can be managed to a great extent.

2 Reactions@arcuri24 congratulations on finding the mind body connection and how to make it work for you. So even though your symptoms are manageable you still have the autoimmune illness. I am sorry. Mine is not related to autoimmune system just a purely bad back from a fall at age 20 and another at age 36 plus resulting OA, OP and PN. Life goes on the best we can.

1 ReactionI have foot pain through the night, but believe that it is less when I consume few added sugars and less bread.

Yes the autoimmunity is there so I have to avoid eating wheat, barley, rye and spelts. No surgery or medications involved with this. There are many gluten-free products out there. Please do not be sorry for me. After much medical testing, I was glad to find out what was going on with my body. and this afforded me some relief. I had been underweight but now have gained some pounds back and am working on toning muscles--somewhat challenging. I do have osteoporosis--according to literature it could be related to celiac or gluten intolerance but that is where physical therapy comes in. We must make lemonade out of lemons and remain positive.
No. Our nerves are wrapped in an insulating fat called MYELIN. The older we get, the less myelin we make. Myelin is made from cobalamin in our diet. That's B12.
Elders eat less B12 rich food, meat and fish. Our stomachs hold less acid which removes B12 from food molecules. Then there's alcohol. It numbs the 20 ft long intestine reducing absorption. I fixed my trygeminal neuralgia by implementing above. Mussels have 10 times as much B12 as red meat. Most people don't eat them. Therefore one needs a daily supplement. Go for it and feel your nerve pain slowly go away. James.
