thank you - in my case though my acupuncturist says anxiety caused this and I believe it as my husband was causing me a lot of anxiety when I got this with his bad language and change in his personality and I had to go to ER several times for very hbp - never told them why - he was 86 and have forgiven him now. When my neuropathy was at its worst my daughter said take a tranquilizer - that got rid of it as a reminder I need to relax. Anyway, I work out 5 days a week 30 plus minutes on different machines and try not to take any calming meds but something I have to work on. It's getting better but I am faithful in taking supplements the acupuncture recommended all medical grade as she knows the scientists and chemists who made these - alpha lipoic acid and B complex - your body pees out the amount it doesn't need of B-12 we lose as we age as I am 82. Anyway another one for the elderly can't think of the name. I think acupuncture isn't a permanent fix - and thinking about when do I quit her and try now I am alone to have calmer days. I try and remember the good times we had and forgive him for all the bad words he said to me as I don't think he realized how much his personality changed - he died at 86. He hated his age and wouldn't dress up at all - he could have had physical therapy for his balance and better shoes. He always said I am old enough. I realized I cannot control him nor anyone else in my life. I just kept reciting the serenity prayer and it's a good one. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference. I think that applies to all problems in life. God is in control and he knows us very well. Thank you for responding.
