Ann I know one way to control neuropatthy pain. This is my experience,

I wrote to avoid repeating it. sam

DMSO THE PAIN SOLVENT

This product is dimethyl sulfoxide, a solvent, a by-product of the paper

industry. It's properties were discovered well after it was in use, so

nobody holds a patent for it, and no company (drug company) can have

exclusive rights to it. It's approved medical uses are as a bladder

infusion for a painful disease, intersticial cystitis, and to draw water

from the brain in accidents to reduce swelling. It is similarly used to

draw water from sperm and egg before they are frozen.

It was widely advertised in California, and was withdrawn by state law.

It is still sold as a solvent. I am a diabetic and have neuropathy. I

am convinced that as nerves die from high sugars they give a final pain

message. My first use was as a painkiller. I had pain in my heel bones

and shins, I thought I would never walk again. Several applications on

the skin per day for several days stopped the pain. It did not return

in any way for years. Now an occasional application renews it. I was

applying it with two fingers, they became white and wrinkled like they

had been in water too long, and turned numb to the second joint, soon

normal.

I had capillitis in my legs, where blood leaks from small blood vessels

leaving both red and later rusty iron stains. Conventional treatment

reduced the leakage after taking citrus bioflavonoids, but left the

rusty stains. It stopped both after several applications of DMSO. I

saw it as a bleach, and chose to try it on age spots on my arms, it

worked, leaving a normal tone to the skin. I used it on hip and knee

pain, elbow and spine. These required more frequent repeated

applications. My dentist had painful knee and ankle pain, he had to

operate the pedals of his drill and stand while working and was

hurting. After a few days it was gone. I have injected it near knee

joints, and tendons. When I was found to have fatty tumors on the lower

margin of my rib cage, after having them surgically removed from my

belly twice, I stuck them with a syringe each half inch, and 0.1cc per

injection site. They shrank, and did not return for 2 years. I shot

them again, they are gone! It stings after a few minutes until you not

sure you should have done it, but fades away and has the desired result.

I had a hot swollen finger joint, (arthritis?) I made a topical

application twice. The pain and swelling went right away. I had a

patch on my wrist, bright red. Cortisone was doing nothing, one

application of DMSO it sloughed off. I have used it for the painful

bites from spiders. The rule is if it hurts persistently, I apply it.

I had no luck on diabetic spots on my legs. I have treated gouty toes

and foot pains. It seems to leave skin and tissues more normal than

they were. It will carry into the blood stream any chemical on the

skin. I had some low flat skin growths on my arms that after

application softened and could be removed like dead skin. It left no

trace. After that I noticed similar places on my cheeks, each side of

the nose, went to the dermatologist and he said in hushed tones we don't

treat those. At home I applied DMSO and they promptly sloughed off.

Since it was a solvent, and I was right in the area, I wondered if it

would have any effect on blackheads and white heads on my nose. The

sebum softened and the pores were opened. I also lost most of my sense

of smell for several weeks. This made me wonder if it might not help

alleviate tinnitus, ringing in the ears. I have used it on carpal

tunnel, the sore wrist with good results.

I have some damage to my skin nerves, I can feel hot and cold at once. I

felt pain from being cold, and applied DMSO to my arms and legs, it felt

better.

A potential problem, it may make the body bleed more when using large

amounts at first. Women might avoid using it around menses. It is said

to give a garlic taste in the mouth seconds after application. It will

dissolve many plastics, including non-woven blankets. I would keep it

away from eyes and sensitive skin areas. For local people, I get it at

Henrys Market, it is in the vitamin section. It comes as a gel, and in

an applicator bottle. I priced it recently, the 4 0z gel is 4$95, the 3

oz liquid 70% roll-on is 4$95, the 8oz liquid is 9$05 16oz liquid is

12$65. The PO charges $3, 2 days delivery up to 2# in the US. I wash

it off with water after about 10 minutes, or use a wet washrag rinse.

JoAnn, rule of thumb is fasting before meals 4 to 7 (that's 75 to 130 in

the states) and 2 to 3 hours after 7 to 11 (that's 130 to 200 in the

States)

I don't ever have real freedom from neuropathy pain, but I can tell you a

trick or two that i've learned to help make it manageable! First, and I

know some woll think this is a no-no, but I will soak my feet in ice water

until they are numb. i discovered this one summer at my family's place on

a lake where I was always in the water, and the cold made my feet feel

great! Another thing, but do this really carefully, is after the cold

soak, do a 20-30 sec plunge in hot water.(the first time I did this I

cursed my chirapractor but when I had several hours pain free, I blessed

him!) I use a wonderful gel called AlpenGel which has arnica and

calendula. It is really soothing. I also am constantly putting on Dr.

Scholl's Peppermint foot Lotion, which helps. I also take an arsenal of

meds...neurontonin, Nortriptalyn, and Ultram, and Ginko (for circulation)

Vitamon E....

Hope these sugesstions help....Neuropathy pain is the worst...except that I

guess it is a blessing to feel anything at all! And I agree that nobody

understands unless you have it, chronic pain just wears a person out, plus

for me it is at it's worst at night.
