Can Neuropathy be cured?

Posted by catstx @catstx, Sep 8, 2021

I’ve had P. neuropathy for 30 years. Just recently I’ve better controlled my blood sugar. So, I’m wondering if Neuropathy ever goes away, Or, if once the nerves are dead they’re just dead

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Hi Manny,

I think using Google to look up the university's neuropathy program will give you the answers you are looking for. If not ask me, and I will send a link, not working on my phone at the moment, I am having an IVig treatment at the moment.
I will also list the litany of things I do to reduce my neuropathy symtoms.

@cgs and all - I thought I would post a link to the Loma Linda University Health - Neuropathic Therapy Center referenced in @cgs's posts. It's really not a "cure" but does offer some hope for pain relief for damaged nerves. Here's the site - https://lluh.org/services/neuropathic-therapy-center.

As with a lot of other treatments it seems to be originally directed at diabetic neuropathy but may help other types as well.

They all offer help but no cure.
Traveling across the country only to find out that it does not help, makes no sense to me.
We have plenty of local doctors to consult with and get the same results.

Hi. I’m so very sorry.
I’ve been suffering almost 24 yrs too.
Functional Medicine. StRt with adrenal support n thyroid testing.
Th already weakened body can b thrown into neuropathy thru surgery, injury or thyroid failure due to toxicity.
Thyroid fails , liver backs up, hormones become unbalanced, etc.
Then diabetes, etc.
These theories n treating thyroid slow down progression a bit.
Holistic n nutritional therapies are huge part.
Homeopathic remedies help pins n needles. Most fix u will find
Stay away from pharma much as u can .
Organic food n produce only
No plastics near foods
Reverse osmosis water filter ( Pure Water filters w/ Gravity Fed system Big One)
Follow:
ForeFront Health
Dr Josh Axe
Dr Westin Childs
Hypothyroid Mom Website
Izabella Wentz (pharmacist)
Functional Medicine for:
Nerve Pain
Inflammation ( inflammation is pins n needles.)
GLA ( primrose oil, fish oil, black currant oil, 1300mg 3 3x / day.
Basic cell salts ( book, Cell Salts)
Magnesium phosphate ( mag phos) homeopathy.
Calcium zinc
Potassium ( proteinate, taurine)
Kava ( start low to help tremors or twitching)
Arnica ( internal pain)
Lemon balm
St. John’s wort ( may affect other meds)
Homeopathic remedies don’t affect others or body.
Alkaline water to adjust body ph ( not with meals)
Digestive enzymes ( to properly use nutrients n supplements) every meal.

Prayers n Good Luck💕🙏🏻😥
It’s an extremely tough road
Support Groups are so helpful if u can be mobile enough ( even online).
Anyone u can talk or visit with daily. Sick or well💕🙏🏻

I have a neuromascular situation I had back surgery and the neurosurgeon said that the nerve and numbness should be better over time. The pain has gone away. It's been six months since the surgery and it doesn't appear to be better. So, I am seeing the NS later this month, after taking an MRI. I had the numbness before the surgery and the hope was when he released the nerve, the numbness would go away with time, and not be related to neuropathy, unless a nerve was damaged.

Unfortunately, as of today, there is no cure for neuropathy. I was disappointed and a bit scared when I learned that although it is progressive, there is no way to bring it to an end. Some research is being done with nerve regeneration....since they take so long to heal but not in the near future.

What is happening that can help are the development of medications and treatments that can mitigate the symptoms of neuropathy. My #1, cannot live without, is MFR, myofascial release therapy. When the fascia in your body becomes restricted and stuck, pain erupts. I now have two sessions a week and may need more as my neuropathy progresses. The second thing that can work is a solid medical cannabis program with different dosages at different times during the day. For me, a morning pick me up starts my day, and an afternoon, relax and rest calms me down, and then another dosage type before bedtime ensures restorative sleep.

Since you have been living with PN for 30 years, how have you handled it? What do you need now that would make your quality of life better?

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

Myofascial release therapy? I’m googling now, sometimes it’s like every fiber of my body aches. Has anyone had Botox injections? I had it for cosmetic reasons once and I was more thrilled with the release of face, sinus and head pain I experienced.

I've been dealing with neuropathy in my feet for 10 years now, and from everything that I've been told and read, nerve damage is permanent. THERE IS NO CURE.
