Coffee and Neuropathy

I'll post what my neurologist says about this and more. I should be hearing from him this week. Interesting that neuropathy hasn't had more interest from the specialists who simply say 'there is no cure.'

I use to drink 8-10 cup of coffee a day….mainly for energy….but cut back to 2 cups a day first thing in AM. And that works….my brain seems wakeup and to fall into place. I did try decaffeinated but it felt awful on my stomach…tea made me feel bloated….I was told I had neuropathy. I have no pain but my feet and hands are always cold….(holding the warm coffee cup helps with that)Because I am pre-diabetic and CKD3 I dilute each of my coffees(4oz))with 12oz of water and 1Tbs 35% cream…..this way I get a big amount of liquid without carbs. The rest of the day I drink hot water with a slice of lemon. This seems to work, I am able to work in the studio without loss of energy until around 5-6pm. I also bounce on my toes and rub my hands to warm them and long arm-stockings keep them warm. I hope this helps someone.

I did hear back from my neurologist. They indicated that caffeine may cause an electrolyte imbalance and also dehydration. Suggested that perhaps I see a physical therapist or consider a magnesium supplement/both. I'll cut the caffeine for a week and see if that helps. Bob

Try good Cbd oil with terpines
Use daily 2-3 xs day works better then pain meds! Took me 3 months to find out that Cbd does work! Tested my self learned all about it

You can add to ur coffee too an instead of drinking coffee find pure coffee extract take that too an alpha lipolic acid it helps a lot

Hello! Do you take cbd only or cbd/thc?
Thanks!

I tried CBD but nothing happened. After a week of no caffeine I'm starting to feel a bit better. I'm also taking 400mg of Magnesium daily. I'll see how that works in another week. I found that the Trader Joes instant cold brew I was drinking has 100mg of caffeine in each teaspoon....I was consuming 2,000mg a day!!! RDA max is 400mg. It's no wonder, eh?!

What brand of CBD oil do you take? I have 3CHI comfortable numb 600mg which is in the photos. It works to help with pain at night and to help me sleep. I need to see what will work during the day. The market seems to be flooded with so much CBD oil that you can buy it at gas stations to Ma and pa stores. How do you know what is good without trying the thousands of CBD oils out there?

Go to a dispensary if you can find one . Talk to thier prof they can advise
Colorado Nevada an others even Michigan an ky have your going to spend $ it’s well worth it. Also realm of caring

On Cbd answers your questions look them up they are in Colorado also a good charlottes web you want the original formula with terpines ! Says 60 mg in a dropper
Has 1000 mg in bottle all Cbd trace of thc is in its hemp in olive oil natural flavor not any fake flavor
Tastes green but good
Also alpine Cbd is also 1000 mg sz bottles
You will go thru a bottle a week or two weeks. My favorites are out of Las Vegas dispensary’s
Donot use gas station otc
Find a health food store
Avexa has good pain relief gel
It has both Cbd w thc in it but rubbing it in tops feet n legs you can sleep !
Another good selection is Select Cbd
If you can find on line those good too!
Mary’s balm is good too. There is alot of Cbd out you just have to be faithful to it everyday 2-3xs a day takes about 2-3 months use to notice because once you stop you will know it was doing something because you will keep using . Just find one very good one that works for u it will take few times maybe finding one but they are not cheap!
But Cbd is well worth money spent . Cut out cable tv for it because it is better then big Pharm drugs! If you can buy a natural grown product better then chemical ones. I donot take lyrica or gabapentine or any pain medicines or opiate pain pills since I started on Cbd 5 years ago!

I tried a magnesium supplement but it upset my stomach too much. Am now using a magnesium lotion on my legs to help with the pain and to have it absorbed into my body to avoid the stomach issues. I think it helps a bit but I have so much pain most of the time I really don’t know. But it’s also helping with my dry skin. 😊

I've tried that and it didn't help at all. Thanks!
