Re: Food and Neuropathy ... I have been eating jalapeno and poblano peppers lately ... I have been waking up with more than usual pain in my legs. It could be unrelated, or, the capsaisin in my bloodstream might be aggravating my nervous system ... it's plausible. Have any of you noticed any correlation between pain levels and what you've been eating? Any foods that consistently seem to cause more pain, or, less pain? Peggy
