Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Hi @avmcbellar Thank you for your informative post about the damaged nerve cells unable to detect temperatures and how you're managing dealing with this. I'm sorry to hear about your AVM surgery causing your neuropathy. A well balanced diet and getting the nutrients needed from food is clearly ideal. Exercise is number one on the list in our home and a low carbohydrate diet certainly makes sense. We eat very healthy, lots of vegetables but cutting down on bread is an area that can be improved upon.
The medications definitely bring along side effects (brain fog and loss of coordination to a small degree) but after having trying to go without them the pain was to much.
We're both hoping that the supplements might just help alleviate the symptoms enough so that it might be possible to quit taking the meds. Thanks again for sharing.

You’re welcome @greenacres I hope your husband finds the supplements that will offer the help he needs to decrease his neuropathy symptoms. I have neuropathy on the left side of my body. I get the numbness, tingling, and burning feeling. I have my right side to tell me what is normal. At times when my left leg felt burning hot I touched it against my right leg and discovered my right leg was warmer. The brain can play games with the mind when the brain doesn’t get the proper signals. Tell her your husband to be careful near a stove or when handling frozen items. He can easily get burns not feeling the appropriate temperatures. I was lucky to have not sustained injuries from handling frozen foods too long with my left hand. Wish you well.
