Re: alternative ways to help with nerve pain

[Guest guest]

Hi Missy,

I have peripheral neuropathy pain (severe at times). I have a neurostimulator

implant. I find it really helps me, especially at night. I also take Cymbalta.

According to my doctor once the dosage gets

up to 120 mg per day it is really a good treatment for neuropathy pain. I

haven't had any negative side effects from either method I use.

I take alpha lipoic acid, silica, creatine, and I exercise mostly water

aerobics. I am also trying a new gadget called a oxygen enhancer that is

suppose to be good for circulation and good for you body...I will let you know

about it I have only been on it a month. I also have as theraputic massage once

a month and see a chiroprator when I get lopsided from my awful gait.

Cathleen,

Thank you for letting me know what you are doing. Maybe I can try some of those

things.

Missy,

I was on Neurontin, Lycria, Cymbalta and a few others. All of which I

had some kind of bad side affect. Mostly they mad me more tired and

with CMT I have found that I have enough fatigue as it is.

I found alternative medicine on another CMT site. I thought I would

give it a try. I am much better. I still have pain and get

symptomatic, but not half as much as before. I have been on the

supplements for over a month now.

The first thing you must know is never stop taking a drug you have

been on right away. Find out from the doctor if you need to wean off

of it.

I take CoQ-10,L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Bio Sil. All of

these can be bought at most drug stores and health food stores. I

feel much better. my spasms aren't as frequent and I don't have as

much pain as i did. I'm hoping the longer I'm on them the better I

will feel.

If you would like more info feel free to e-mail me.

Good Luck,

Briget
