Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 peripheral neuropathy Dear Ruth I read your email and saw that you to have two auto immune disorders as have I, my doctors keep saying its one of those things if you get one you will be more likely to get another, thats not much use to me. When i ask questions everyone is very vague, and because i deal with two hospitals and two consultants i get very muddled. The AIH I have been told is in the middle stages but what is that, i dont go back to see about that till october, the nerve problems are strange it was origionally thought i had ms but it seems i have sicco syndrome neuropathy although the doc was not that forthcoming with a name he did say it was extremely rare whatever strain it is 1 - 100,000 but any more than that i dont know. i have movement in my limbs vbut very little sensory so life is hard, but i want to know will it get better all i hear is we have to wait and see i dont want to wait i want to know - he has started to decrease predisolone to 6-mg to 40mg on alternate days and i shouls see him within the month. I have put on nearly 2 stone and feel my face is extremely puffy but i am going to try to stay out the fridge how do others manage.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 in Chas, God! are you a third ? I think I recognize your moniker and that you have been here before.... Anyway, I have peripheral neuropathy. I got it after taking Oncovin, one of the chemotherapy drugs I took last Fall. The neuropathy is a common side effect. Anyway it is nasty. I take 900 mg. neurontin in the PM and 300 mg during the day. I also take 50mg pamelor which is one of the early anti-depressants, now used for neuropathies. I kid my Dr. about treating my feet for depression. Most of my pain is in my feet. It has been 6 months now and they are getting better but it is sooo slow! At night I wear socks to bed (read... I live in Florida!) my feet are not cold to the touch, it is a deep achy cold. , I just realized I can't tell you anything to help the pain... for me it just is. I tried Percoset but it didn't really help so I stopped after about three nights. The only thing I can say is that it helped me fall asleep (narcotics often do that). My sympathy is with you. I hope someone with more answers responds. Patty -----Original Message-----From: kikishrimp@...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 My husband has Neuropathy in his feet. A couple of his toes and part of the arch of his foot goes numb. As a matter of fact, that's how we found out he has Hep C. It's not necessarily true that there is no treatment for Neuropathy. According to my husbands Neurologist it depends what is causing it. If the neuropathy is caused by diabetes for example, there is nothing you can do. In my husbands case it's his immune system attacking itself. It's mistaking something else for the virus and attacking that, causing the neuropathy. My husbands neurologist ordered monthly transfusions and they work. He had to go for 6 of them before he was completely better but, he did see gradual results along the way. It's been a couple of months since he had had a treatment and the numbness is starting to come back. This was expected and he'll have to figure out how often he has to go for the transfusions. The process is you go monthly until hopefully they work and the neuropathy is gone. Then you stop and when the numbness starts to return, you go back for a treatment. You may only have to go every three months now instead of every month. How often you go now depends on how long it takes for the neuropathy to return. I hope that made sense. While these treatments work for the neuropathy, as of yet, they have not helped with the pain and he does 100 mg of Pamelor nightly for that. The treatments are quite expensive though. He has to go for two days each time he goes and it costs roughly $12,000 each day. Fortunately we have good insurance. The name of the treatments he gets are called IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin therapy or immunotherapy). From what I understand it's a transfer of proteins which help to boost the immune system. There is a bunch of information on it in relation to MS but I couldn't really find anything on it as related to hep c but maybe this link will help a little. http://www.clevelandclinic.org/neuroscience/treat/nerve/treatment/ivig.htm Hope this helps some and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be glad to give more information if I can. Jo-Ann Peripheral Neuropathy Does anyone have any experience with peripheral neuropathy pre- treatment? I've developed it in my hands recently, and it sems to have gone to my feet as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deborah Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy: Advice from a Mayo Clinic specialist Peripheral neuropathy damage to the nerves that carry sensation from your hands or feet can cause numbness, tingling and burning sensations. A Mayo Clinic specialist provides some tips for managing this disorder. , M.D. Some people with peripheral neuropathy don't even notice it. Others are debilitated by pain and numbness. What's going on inside the body to cause such widely varying symptoms? How can something that's numb also hurt? , M.D., who specializes in pain medicine at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., explains the phenomenon and offers some suggestions for living with peripheral neuropathy. What is peripheral neuropathy? Peripheral neuropathy means that nerves in the extremities are damaged. The most benign effect of nerve damage is nerve irritability, which makes the damaged nerve send signals when it shouldn't. This sensation may simply be annoying, such as mild tingling or itching, but it can become very unpleasant or painful. In those cases, people usually describe the sensation as burning, electric shock-like, or pins and needles. These unpleasant sensations can occur in response to touch, temperature, or even with no stimulus of any kind. Sometimes, even the lightest touch is painful because the response is inappropriately amplified. As nerve damage progresses, numbness results. All these sensations can occur at the same time. It's puzzling because you can't see the injured nerve or anything wrong with your hand or foot, but it hurts. It can feel numb and hurt at the same time, and that seems contradictory. Some people don't tell their doctor because they think their symptoms don't make sense. But these sensations are real. Your doctor can do the necessary tests to determine the cause, and there are literally hundreds of causes. What causes peripheral neuropathy? Neuropathy may be caused by a variety of diseases or disorders. For example, a problem in nerves in the foot could be caused by diabetes. Other causes include vitamin deficiencies, hereditary disorders, inflammatory conditions, and exposure to toxic substances (including some medications) or alcohol. Diabetes is the most common cause. Each cause may damage the nerve in a different way, but the symptoms are similar. The nerve doesn't function properly. It's like when your car doesn't start. It doesn't matter if it's a dead battery or a bad fuel pump. It just won't start. How is peripheral neuropathy diagnosed? Your doctor should ask about diseases you have, and those that run in your family. He or she will also need to know about all medications you take, including nonprescription and dietary supplements. A neurological examination and blood tests follow the interview. Sometimes additional testing, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electrical nerve testing, spinal tap or a nerve biopsy, is required. You can have peripheral neuropathy and not be aware of it. Your brain filters out a lot of sensations every day. For example, unless you think about it, you're not aware of the sensation of your clothing on your body. If your brain didn't filter out this sort of thing, you'd be overwhelmed. This means you could have diabetic neuropathy and not realize it until another problem occurred. For example, you might take a chemotherapy medication at a dose low enough that it shouldn't cause any problems. But you might develop a major problem when both things are happening together. Why does it target fingers and toes? The longer the nerve, the more vulnerable it is to injury. Peripheral neuropathy usually affects the nerves at their furthest reaches from the body, and the nerves going to the toe can be more than 3 feet long. Single nerve cell fibers reach all the way from the big toe to the spinal cord. They're some of the longest if not the longest nerve cells in the body. Why doesn't the nerve hurt all along its length? In very simple terms, it's as if nerves for the toe are wired to the " toe " area of your brain. No matter where the nerve is damaged along its length, when it fires you feel pain in your toe. Because the longest nerves in your body often are affected first, the symptoms may begin in the toes and then move up to the feet, and then to the legs. How is peripheral neuropathy treated? First, any underlying conditions are treated. That's why it's so important to try to determine the cause of the problem. If it's due to a chemotherapy drug, perhaps the dose can be reduced. In diabetes, the nerve damage seems to be related to high blood sugar, so better control of diabetes can improve damage to the nerves. The next step is to try to control painful symptoms with a medication. There are several classes of medications that can help: Anti-epileptic drugs Antidepressants Local anesthetics, such as a lidocaine patch Opioids, such as codeine and morphine How does an epilepsy drug reduce pain? There are several possible mechanisms, but primarily these medications calm irritable nerves, whether they're in your brain causing seizures or in your feet causing burning pain. The most common anti-seizure drug prescribed for nerve pain is gabapentin (Neurontin). In fact, gabapentin is probably prescribed more often for pain than for epilepsy. Similarly, antidepressants affect not just mood, but also perception of pain. Some people may resist taking an antidepressant because they think that means the doctor believes their pain is all in their heads. But that's not it at all. Some antidepressants also reduce pain. What types of antidepressants work best for pain? Tricyclic antidepressants are good for pain but frequently cause side effects. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have fewer side effects but work less well for pain. Newer antidepressants called serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are somewhere in between. SNRIs work well for pain and cause few side effects. Is it difficult to find a drug that works? It can be. Even in the same family of medications, one drug will work for you while another one won't. Your response to a drug depends on your condition and unique genetic profile. It's important to carefully weigh the good effects of a medication against its side effects, and make sure the balance is in your favor. What nondrug therapies do you recommend? If you're having a lot of pain in your hands and feet, you probably are avoiding touching them. But massage can help desensitize those areas. Another desensitization technique is to soak your hands and feet, alternating between cold and warm water. There is no treatment for the loss of sensation and strength. If your hands and feet are numb, you may have trouble walking or doing other physical tasks. But to maintain the muscles that move your hands and feet, you must use and stretch them. Supportive devices, such as splints and braces, may compensate for loss of strength and improve function. A physical therapist or occupational therapist often can help you find new ways to do activities more efficiently and prevent injuries. For example, people whose hands are affected may get burned while cooking before they know that they've touched something hot. If their feet are numb, they may not notice a stone in their shoe, or may stumble over a throw rug. You need to be proactive. Get serious about fall prevention before you've broken your hip. What else should people do? If your feet are numb, you should inspect them daily for any sores or cuts. This is especially important for people with diabetes, which slows the healing of damaged tissue. If you routinely get up every night to go to the bathroom, make sure you have night lights and that the pathway is clear. Get rid of throw rugs or extension cords that might trip you. With numbness, you need to be careful about damage from heat or frostbite. You need to use your brain because your body can't remind you. Does peripheral neuropathy ever get better? Many neuropathies do get better over time. They can heal themselves if the underlying cause is removed. It takes time and doesn't always happen, but you should never give up hope. In many cases, your body just adapts to the problem. Neuropathy can stop being painful after a while, or your brain can adapt, so you'll have less difficulty using your hands and feet.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 it sounds like you have diabetic neuropathy which is where the peripheral nerves in you legs/feet and arms/hands become inflamed and the nerve conduction is affected and you get the numbness and tingling. there there are western medications you can take, but also alternative medicine also works well.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have met a local man whose feet were saved from amputation in weeks by drinking XanGo mangosteen juice. Ulcers to the bone. I have not seen an easier or faster way to help this condition, although the steps in Cure For All Diseases, pages 173 and after should be implemented if the person is willing to make serious lifestyle changes. See more on the XanGo juice here: www.ForgetDrugs.com Blessings! Arthur www.BestZapper.com www.ForgetDrugs.com P. S. Are you as healthy as you would like? Peripheral Neuropathy Anybody got any tips on protecting the feet of older diabetics? My mom's new boyfriend has an issue with that. I recommended Cayenne and possibly ozone. He's also got arterial sclerosis, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but I kind of know how to deal with that stuff using acupuncture, garlic, hawthorne, cayenne and celery juice. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Peripheral neuropathy and diabetic foot ulcers are easily treated with ozone, first choice being limb bagging. I have some research here that shows the before-and-after of fantastic healing of large intractable leg ulcers in a few weeks, something like 13 treatments. Ozonated olive oil was also used in some research on some of the smaller sores as well as on huge body cavity fistulae. Because " high cholesterol " is neither a disease that needs treatment NOR a disease marker, I wonder why you're " treating " it. Check out The Cholesterol Myths at www.ravnskov.nu and change your mind. To reply to your comment on treating blood pressure with Hawthorn, have you first reduced the man's physical stressors of poor bowel ecology, low glutathione and malnutrition? These are the biggest causes of high BP. Since the man is at least pre-diabetic and has considerable ongoing oxidative stress, the biggest arterial plaque maker and life-shortener, I'd bet he isn't taking undenatured whey and selenium to reduce toxin load and increase the master antioxidant and energy molecule precursor glutathione. Doing it though will probably reduce the progress of the neuropathy as well, by making the cells less likely to die prematurely. Increasing glutathione is the " other end " of ozone therapy anyway, one that is often missed. Similarly, attending to bowel health with inulin or inulin foods reduces one's biggest toxin exposure and allows for better nutrient assimilation. No " meat and potatoes " , now - check out the candidiasis group, the largest and most successful bowel heath group, for more: candidiasis The group is into nutritional considerations too.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 BlockBuster AllClear contains increased serrapeptase. More though, it also has two more potent fibrinolytioc enzymes nattokinase and Seaprose-S. Nattokinase is 4 times the fibrinolytic action as your natural plasmin does, and indications are that it also increases natural plasmin release over time, which had dropped with age. This blend is head-and-shoulders above straight serrapeptase, which the company also has a sale on.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi Arthur: Do you know anything about insulin resistance. I have had trouble digesting meat . I did the 8 liver cleanses and things got better but I am not overweight and don't eat a lot of sweets or breads but I had a reading of 105 glucose fasting and 8 insulin during menopause. I read somewhere that ringing in the ears is related to insulin resistance and I am worried. I do see a correlation between the ringing in the ears and the lack of protein in my meals or eating a lot of carbs. Plant protein does not help me. Eating fish 3 times a day quiets my ears almost completely. Omega 3 does not. any thoughts? Thanks a million ________________________________ From: " ad7@shaw " <ad7@...> Dr Sent: Sunday, April 12, 2009 10:57:49 PM Subject: Re: Peripheral Neuropathy I have met a local man whose feet were saved from amputation in weeks by drinking XanGo mangosteen juice. Ulcers to the bone. I have not seen an easier or faster way to help this condition, although the steps in Cure For All Diseases, pages 173 and after should be implemented if the person is willing to make serious lifestyle changes. See more on the XanGo juice here: www.ForgetDrugs. com Blessings! Arthur www.BestZapper. com www.ForgetDrugs. com P. S. Are you as healthy as you would like? Peripheral Neuropathy Anybody got any tips on protecting the feet of older diabetics? My mom's new boyfriend has an issue with that. I recommended Cayenne and possibly ozone. He's also got arterial sclerosis, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but I kind of know how to deal with that stuff using acupuncture, garlic, hawthorne, cayenne and celery juice. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 In Chinese Medicine, tinnitis is usually caused by yin deficiency with heat rising due to yin being unable to restrain yang.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 No, this is the " eastern " conception of " liver. " Do you have access to an acupuncturist or Chinese herbalist? Dietary therapy is important. I would recommend black beans, black chicken, black rice, black sesame, walnuts, red grapes, goji, shitake, sprouts, organic eggs, organic kidneys and liver (see if you can find an organic butcher.) Raspberries and raspberry tea. Acupuncture and herbs would be much stronger, of course. There are some great medicinal wines and teas as well. Yoga/Tai Chi/QiGong practice would be good as well.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Sorry, to be more specific, liver " yin " is unable to restrain or " contain " yang. So yang rises, in the form of heat. This results in headaches, different type of phenomena. In our case, it results in tinnitus. Peripheral Neuropathy >>> >>> Anybody got any tips on protecting the feet of older diabetics?

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 In TCM Dietary Therapy, there's nothing " in " the food, but it's " medicinal property. " It's just that type of qi. These foods will tonify foundational essence. Once you have sufficient yin, the yang will be in balance.
