Hi John, Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply. My neuropathy is caused by an autoimmune issue that is attacking my myelin sheath....diagnosis of Anti-MAG (Antibodies to Myelin Associated Glycoproteins). It's a fairly rare diagnosis and I've had difficulty finding much helpful information on treatment. My symptoms are electrical current sensations in arms and legs, often to the point of numbness, loss of balance and muscle loss. I've had most success with adjusting lifestyle issues....cleaning up my diet, regular exercise, getting enough sleep, etc., along with supplementation. My Mayo doctors suggested trying an anti-depressant or anti-seizure drug, but so far, I've decided against that route. The last couple of months I've noticed an increase in the intensity of symptoms, so am interested in newer treatments other than drugs.

Hi @jlsoerens -- I do believe diet plays a big role in a lot of autoimmune health problems. I started my journey while researching my small fiber peripheral neuropathy and found a helpful book by Dr. Terry Wahls - The Wahls Protocol, that started me looking more at nutrition to help with some of my overall health problems. She does have an amazing story to tell - https://terrywahls.com/about/about-terry-wahls/. I try to focus on eating more fruits and vegetables and a lot less meat - then mostly poultry.

I've had blood work, numerous EMG's and no real information or diagnosis on what type I have, how I got it, or where to get any help, other than prescribe Gabapentin. I keep asking and suggesting being tested for nerve damage from a spinal fusion I had in my low back in 2002. I never had any sort of foot pain or issues prior to that and from that point on, things just keep getting worse. My husband and I saw a documentary about stem cell therapy either on Amazon, Netflix or YouTube. You can probably google it, however, I couldn't find it again. They talked convincingly about stem cell ltherapy for MS and many other health issuesl. I'd really be interested in seeing if it could help.

my neuropathy is in the feet ankles down three fingers and thumb, I do have the numbness and also the pain, burning feeling, sharp light 22 shell just shot you mostly at night. cant sleep some nights

I have the same but a lot of pain in my feet when I walk. I have been sent for physical therapy but otherwise nothing. I use THC to sleep at night and it helps with the pain.
