Ok folks, I have really great news. On 23rd Dec.2020, I woke up in the middle of the night, with both legs, from ankle to top of thigh, and both arms, from wrists to a couple of inches above both elbows, burning like a severe sunburn, with chronic itch on all four limbs. I knew that this was the ultimate challenge to my belief in neuroplasticity .. The rule concerning itch is; NEVER, NEVER, SCRATCH AN ITCH, and that's what I did.. My thinking,was that I really should go to a hospital emergency centre ,but decided to hang in. After four days THE ITCH graduly reduced and was gone totally by 2ND January. The rash was much slower , but is now almost gone. Another, to me, almost a miracle is that the numbness in my feet , ankles and lower leg muscles, has reduced and feeling returning. I am now walking 2 kilometres per morning using 2 walking sticks, with forearm clasps, increasing the distance every Monday morrning by 100 metres.
My daily treatment was and still is, every morning.
1.EXTREMELY HOT SHOWER, USING HAND SPRAY TO EVERY PART OF MY BODY, INCLUDINNG HEAD AND NECK, LEAVING MY BRIGHT RED
2.DRY MY SKIN AND APPLY A BASIC MOISTURISING LOTION.
3. DRINK 2 GLASSES OF COLD WATER AND GO FOR MY WALK.
SUMMARY IS THAT NEUROPLASTICITY DOES WORK AND I EXPECT A TOTAL CURE!
I am now aged 90, and still on nil medication. Over the last month my eyes and optic nerve was examined by a Ortho Ophthalmologist, who found all was well, and that my slightly dry eyes would vanish as I emproved. HE also agreed with the opinion of my Neurologist, both world ranked specialists, who forcast, " Yes, a cure is possible, but it wont be easy"
All that I heard was , YES IT IS POSSIBLE.
I DONT CARE HOW HARD IT IS!
Hey, Hank and Barry, with the technological advancements, I am wondering if there are any virtual realty software or games that will fool the brain into helping with neuroplasticity? That would be awesome to use technology to help our bodies overcome neuropathy, muscle weakness, balance, etc.
