I have a very strong reaction to nightshades. Potatoes cause a severe flair up, as do tomatoes, and it doesn’t take more than a little bit. This has come on relatively recently as my PN has progressed. Has anyone else had this experience?

@catro, I have read about that somewhere, I don’t understand the connection though. I don’t have that problem but have wondered about too many carbs or sugar also causing a problem for me so I limit myself. Alcohol is the worst for me, even 1/2 glass of wine will trigger a bad night. Helen

@catro My small fiber peripheral neuropathy is sensitive to carbs like potatoes. Carbs can really make my feet burn. So, I limit carbs and I have learned that if I exercise really hard for 30 to 40 minutes every other day it reduces my pain and susceptibility to carbs. It is difficult to get an intense workout when it hurts my feet to stand very long but I do what I can. My feet are also sensitive to heat even though they are numb. So, no covers on my feet at night and rarely do I wear socks and shoes.
