Thank you the welcome. I am 86 years young and was diagnosed with neuropathy 40 years ago. Since then 25 years aginI diagnosed with chronic back pain due to trapped and seized nerves. Last year I was a candidate for back surgery but it was discovered I had osteoporosis even in my jaw bones and the bones were not struck enough to hold the screws. I am never without pain, have tried Lyrica, endep, and pregablin for the nerve pain but they all interfered with my head I was foggy headed all the time. A naturopath I consulted recommended Tumeric and Lipoec but here in Australia the latter is very hard to purchase. Is there anything else? My GP is inclined to downplay the pain I have and is inclined to put all discomfort down to the back issues. Even though I have physio weekly, an hour’s exercise every morning and a 20 minute or walk every day I do not know what else to do. I am gradually losing mobility. I am not looking for a cure, that would be great but how to manage my condition. Thank you for the opportunity to describe my health issues,
