@ron15 l have neuropathy in both legs and my arms sometimes give me trouble. But l do everything normally. I am going to physical therapy after l had my nerve test done at my neurologist office. And sometimes l think if my diet is a little off it might seem worst. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. And poultry and fish. I try to limit my pork intake and l really not a red meat person only maybe a hamburger, or meatballs but steaks don't care for them. And stews not really but sometimes l will cook these meats mainly for my husband. And l make some sweets but l went to Costco's and brought some sherbet with greek yogurt. Now l didn't read the label the first time but the second time l did. And they have on it sugar and then added sugar so watch. Because l couldn't buy it again it was loaded with sugar. So l am getting massages, doing exercise, and heat packs, resistance bands. It nice but when l went to my internist l told her sometimes l have head spasms. She didn't understand that but its nerves. And when its inflamed it can affect your who body. Learning something new everyday but my thinking is clear. So l count it All Joy!!! And l can't take any pain med have to many allergies so l just listen to music and enjoy everyday to its fullest. That's all we can do.
I admire your reality and willingness to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I wish I didn’t relate but I do! This very moment pain is spasms with a electric charge that should bring me to my knees but my knees won’t bend!
I have nothing to offer,no ideas no medical revelation I take solace in reading the journey of others and prayer which often turns to pleading for a some respite.
You keep moving and embracing your newnormal people love you and breathing helps.
Take care
Good to hear you are moving and exercising. Are you able to walk enough to help the old heart rate up and help stimulate your internal body weapons to help in your journey? Any movement is good movement. It can help breakdown or loosen the fascia throughout the body. It’s also helped me with my stamina which has been very limited.
Hang in there. I’m sure I can say - we wish you the best- from this discussion group.
Hello! Thank you for your reply and support. No can do on getting the old heart rate up...my stride has one speed, slow. I am not one to sit around, drives me crazy! I went from overdrive to brakes on over the past 3 years. So, I do my best with balancing movement and rest. Unfortunately, the body dictates even on days that I tell myself NO, this is in your head, defy it! Wishing you well.
I was diagnosed with Neuropathy this week. Doctor suggested a medication called Lyrica; said will not cure it but would help with the extreme discomfort. Pain came on fast, but is really bad at night. Difficulty sleeping. Has anyone used this medicine and did it help?
