Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I have taken the Meds mention here. Those Meds over time , stress the liver and no longer helped. My liver test where not good, so now I take very little Meds and avoid damaging my liver miore with long term medicine useage. As I age , my body canno longer handle those strong Meds. Healthy eating and moving around gently helps. At night , I start mindfulness and drink tea and massage. I feel less stress, more in control and kettle to none pain med. if needed. And "no" , I am not a old person, just smart about my body's needs.

Timerdude when my meds caused my liver to have a fourth of liver damage,<br>my sister in law gave me an Atkins diet book. I read an put myself on<br>the diet. I started on the first level. I was really dedicated to<br>it because of what I had studied. When I went back to the Dr. and had<br>the live test again it had healed it self. He asked what I had done<br>differently and I showed him what I was eating and how I cut all<br>sugar out of my diet. I've never been a consumer of liquor. He told<br>me to live on this diet as if I were a diabetic. I've been on it for 12<br>years. I do have cheat day's!!. If you have ever had gout you can't do<br>the diet. A lot of people stop the diet because they say it makes them<br>feel bad. They feel bad because the body detoxifies.<br>
Yes! I too, am eating healthily. And the MayoClinic Rehab, did wonders for me. I learned a lot and it did change the way, I eat,sleep,relax, and just plain OFF "man-made " drugs! Pain can be refocus, and I learned to keep my pain, at a low level. I always overdo my things (like,work,walk a lot,clean,etc.), and then I pay the price at the end. Its' called "PUSH and CASH". I have pain still, but feel in control, with out heavy pain meds and, eat better and feel at "peace' with myself . Hope this helps others! Thank you, MAYO!
Yea! for you Timerdude. Makes sense to me. I'm trying to do it on my own and keep my mind busy, get as much exercise as I can manage, do housework and hug my cat. Am sleeping well now,(but the stressors in my life have subsided (work, etc.)Now .80 YO, I worked till I was 74 so now I can say retirement and lack of the stress has made it possible for me to take charge of myself... don't have to take blood pressure meds any more either. Discomfort, tingling, hot, swelling feet .in the evenings herald that it's time to give feet and ankles a rest along with a gentle massage with foot cream. I have a bloodclot in my leg so I don't massage too heavily but am on warfarin but that's the only med - so far. Chemo took its toll on the PN...
You are awesome ! Proud to know, you are a uplifting type of person, we<br>should all learn to follow!<br><br>
You are right about stress and how it affects pain. I try to avoid adding to the stress life provides in itself.

Ask your *Nephrologist what Meds U CAN TAKE. A NO may mean that the kidney<br>does NOT clear them well and so they will build up in the blood and maybe<br>elsewhere.*<br><br>
