Researching the Neuropathies
This archived discussion is "read only".
» NeuroPath - Treatments and Possible Cures To develop effective treatments and a possible cure, it is necessary to find the cause and the pathophysiology of the disease. An effective way to profile the pathophysiology of any of these diseases is to correlate information from research papers on the subject, and to collect anecdotal information from people that suffer from the disease.I invite those with any of the neuropathies of the Peripheral Nervous System to share their histories or descriptions of the circumstances under which they first contracted their particular disease. -- posted by NeuroPath » footmd - A safe way to eliminate or reduce peripheral neuropathy My name is Dr. Steven J. Dolgoff.I am a Board certified foot surgeon in NJ, and have very successfully been reducing or eliminating the symptoms of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy for the past 15 years, using an all natural method I have refined with little to NO SIDE EFFECTS. As you know, most doctors don't know about it and usually give prescription drugs to treat it which have many side effects, (and yes, sometimes I have to use those drugs to) but patients that have used this treatment, have been astounded by the results. Please help me get the word out there is a great way to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy without the side effects of powerful drugs. I have a web site (VitaminEs4Less.com ……it stands for less peripheral neuropathy pain numbness and pins and needles) that will explain everything and answer all your questions. If you still have any questions, please feel free to call me at 732-972-3120 (nothing but the items used to treat the peripheral neuropathy are on the site despite the name) (The treatment regimen must be taken exactly as directed with these dosages, ingredients and binders with no changes, or it won’t work.) THE B-12 MUST BY GIVEN BY INJ ONLY. IT WILL NOT WORK IF TAKEN IN ANY ORAL FORM. -- posted by footmd » cathey - Poly Peripheral Neuropathy/Autonomic Neuropathy Hello,My name is Cathey, I am 53 yrs old . I have been a diabetic since 1986 and developed PN in 1988. I managed large apartment complexes for many yrs, then was forced to quit in Oct. 1997 because of the intense pain level. I got on Calif. Disability right away and it was very helpful. That along with my meager savings kept me going for over a year. I am now indigent of funds and if it wasnt for my son and his family, well I dont know where I'd be. My son is in the army, I live with him and he has made me his military dependent. That takes care of over $700.00 worth of medicine every month. This disease, PN is a silent killer. It drives you soul into the dirt, it tears apart relationships and friendships. Families once close, are torn apart. Most of us are basically homebound, some other luckier ones arent. I live in Hawaii and can very seldom go to the beach with my family. People look at me and cant see a darn thing wrong (unless its one of the days my legs are so swollen they dont look like they belong to me. I supposed on a scale from 1 to 10, I would be about an 8 on the desire to survive lists. I am not suicidal, I just dont want to live the next 20years in this much pain, muchless more. I take 3600mg of neurontin a day, 100 mg of elivil Hs, 40 mg lasix daily,Tramadol 200 mgs per day and1200mgs of Pentoxifylline per day. Next week they are going to change my meds and that is scary. I have been looking into Hyperbaric treatments and (cant think of the name) IV treatments every 4 weeks or so. I am sorry, the neurontin messes with my memory, especially words. I need help and I need it fast. There are to many days crying behind locked doors. Please, if anyone, anywhere can help me, I would be eternally grateful. Cathey -- posted by cathey » dianaclaire - Re: Poly Peripheral Neuropathy/Autonomic Neuropathy In response to message posted by cathey:Oh, Cathey, I know exactly how you feel. I take so many meds, the cost is overwhelming even though it is partially covered by insurance. I stumble a lot, am dizzy, sick at my stomach, and am in intense pain most of the time. I take 3200 mg of Neurontin, 400 mg of Carbatrol, Prozac, Lasix, and many more unrelated to the neuropathy. The thought of continuing to livelike this is very depressing. I have tried other drugs (Topamax) that had terrible side effects. Was it difficult to get on disability? I plan to apply very soon. Please e-mail me if you need to talk. I understand. God bless you.
