THE FOURTH ??
I ALSO TAKE VIT B COMPLEX AS B12 IS IMPORTANT. i have had a very big improvement over the past 1-2 months. my main problem still is cold feet.
Hello Rabbit. I have severe foot pain. The opiates I have been prescribed seem to not be as effective as they were at the beginning. In fact, they maybe help about 30% of the pain at this time. I am going to research medical marijuana next.
Gabapentin 300 mg. at bedtime works wonders - along with 300 mg. twice a day
Wow, I've been having spasms in my legs and feet for almost 4 years now. I've gone to many different Drs. No one knows what my problem is. They tried be on different medicines but nothing helped and the side effects were terrible. Finally I asked the neurologists if he knew what was wrong with me and he said no. So I've been living with this pain all this time. It only comes at night after I fall asleep,, sometimes I will have them from 2-6 times a night. I have to immediately get on my feet before I get any relief. These are not charley horses, it's something else, the only way I can sleep is get up and get into my recliner. Then when it hits I can get on my feet faster so the spasm doesn't last as long. I'm going to try your soap. Praying it works. Thank you for the suggestion. Jody
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Hello @16jody! I fully sympathize with your miserable condition! I suppose you have been tested for Restless Legs Syndrome, which can give a person the worst nighttime torture. If you haven,t tried ReQuip--I am currently taking this--maybe your doc can prescribe<br> a low dose of Valium at bedtime. I am also taking over--the--counter magnesium supplements. The magnesium really helped my spasms more than anything. And no side effects. Right now I can,t think of anything else, except prescription drugs. Good luck, 16Jody,<br> and I will be thinking about you. Oh--the magnesium is for the severe muscle spasms I have. Best Wishes, Peggy<br><br>
Thank you so much for your reply. I have been tested, I think for every thing and the neurologist just doesn't know what is causing this. I've never heard of ReQuip. Is it prescription? I do take magnesium at night. As far as the Valium, haven't tried that either. I actually didn't have any spasms last night. I'm praising the Lord today. I put that bar of soap under the sheet last night, my husband and I both thought why not?☺️ At this point I'm willing to try most anything. What does the ReQuip do? Thank you so very much again. Jody
I have been reading about Nerve Renew and wondering if anyone tried it. I have Idiopathic neuropathy and will almost take anything for the pain and be able to live normaly again. I take 300 mg 3 times a day and helps a little but still can't wear nice shoes or walk long distances or sometimes just around the house. If anyone has tried this please let me know. twinky
I have used soap (almost any kind) for many years now. My mother told me about it and I only have to use the soap with a bar under the sheets. If it slips out from there you will know and get up and put it back. Good luck. Hope you have the great results that I have had.
I mean 300 mg of Gabapenten 3 times a day.
Sounds crazy, but I plan to try it tonight. Thanks
