Re: Periperhal Neuropathy after Tamiflu

[Guest guest]

Hello , A lot of cases will gradually clear up on their own. In the past I have used Hypericum and Avena to great effect combined with whatever else is appropriate. Check nervous system as a whole and support with B vitamins and deal with any stress issues.LorraineLorraine Hodgkinson MRCHMHERBS AND HELPERS6, Butts Fold, Cockermouth,Cumbria, CA13 9HY.

Hi, wondered if anyone had any suggestions. I am seeing a gentleman next week, I had a brief phone conversation with him. He had Tamiflu and reacted badly and was in hospital for a couple of weeks 3 years ago. Since then he has peripheral neuropathy and has been trying to prevent it worsening with supplements (incls B12 but no details on rest as yet) but wants to try other things i.e. herbs.

Thanks

hi julie,

i use st johns wort (3-5ml tincture daily) for neuralgic pain, including

peripheral neuropathy, personally, to good effect.

i've also found capsaicin topically (bid) really effective. i currently

use a conventional pharmceutical preparation because it's slightly less

messy (i end up a bit orange coloured) than a herbal preparation in my

experience tho i think either would/should work. i think it might

require identifying (and applying at) the site/point at which the nerve

irritation is arising for best effect... and/or involve a bit of trial

and error.

good luck,

eirwen

enfield.
