Re: Digest Number 1245

Rose, your post about your painful neuropathy caught my eye. There's been a

lot on another list I belong to (LC-D) about relief from neuropathy using

ALA/GLA and evening primrose oil. You can read the archives without joining

the list...as subject line you could put in " neuropathy " and everything

should pop up. It sounds like a lot of people have gotten relief with this.

Good luck. Vicki

Anne, I'm sorry to read about your diabetes. When I was dx'd 5 years

ago I weighed 260 pds, also. This January it was down to 185, now it is

125. It can be done! My blood sugars have gone from 400-600 to 80-130

now.

That's the good news, the bad news is painful neuropathy. I thought

diabetics went numb in their feet. Nothing could prepare anyone for the

intensity of unbelievable torture. It has just about driven me insane,

if there was someone to look after the 4 best kids in the world, I'd

check out just to get away from this agony. No, I won't. My

responsibilities keep me from it but I have an appreciation for suicides

where enormous pain is involved.

I went to the doctor last Friday begging for relief. He gave me

aspirin. Monday, I was on his doorstep begging, crying, pleading for

relief. He gave me a prescription for Amitriptylin. It worked I hadn't

slept for very long, for almost a week so I spent Monday and Tuesday

sleeping.

I started noticing that I was having massive problems walking Wednesday.

I had been having problems before but not to this extent.

I noticed that the pain was in my hands now and the lower part of my

head. My feet and legs have turned so blue and so has my hands and

arms. My kids say that the area around my lips is very blue and to top

it off I suddenly (almost overnight) can't hear very well. I can't

change my elevation because I faint. I've got a 9:30 appt. in the

morning. Hopefully, they will take care of me before I lose my job.

Wow, what a pity party! However, if any of you have neuropathy in your

future, get your levels under control. I swear pain does an amazing job

of converting you.

How did your appt go? Any relief? Any answers to

questions?
