Thank you for adding me to this group. I have been reading the different topics and found some interesting info and topics. My neuropathy started quite suddenly 4 years ago just prior to a tumor was removed from my left knee (benign) that was attached to a nerve. I connected the PN to an MRI with Gadolinium contrast which affected my entire body including the beginning of neuropathy in both feet. I immediately did a detox regimen with a naturopath and some acupuncture (not sure if that helped me or not). I have also tried many many supplements, laser therapy (10 sessions), red light therapy and hyperbaric oxygen, and massage heat boots. Now after having joined this group I read that statins can cause DM and PN so I have gone off of my statins for 2 weeks, still no relief yet. My left foot is worse due to the surgery and symptoms exacerbate at night. I continue to search for healing. As a physical therapist I do water aerobics or water work outs 2-3 days a week as this tamps down the nerve pain and there is no pounding on my feet. I use CBD topical on my feet nightly and sometimes Voltaren. Full disclosure my son makes the CBD so I get if from him.
I am unable to comfortably wear sneakers or any closed shoe so I limit that. I do walk, play pickleball and ride my bike, elliptical and weight lifting upper body. My other acitivites from my former life long distance hikes and long bike rides are over. I cannot say that any of the above treatments truly caused any healing. I am interested in the Winsantor PN topical if it comes to market I will try that. Thank you for your comments and support
