Re: Re: Please help~ Peripheral Neuropathy

[Guest guest]

Has anyone here gotten better with antibiotics or taken anything else that has

put their peripheral neuropathy into remission? I am still waiting to feel

better with the Sjogrens on antibiotics as well as other supplements, cleanses

etc...but now the PA is really bad on top of the Sjogrens and dizziness. I

cannot find any success stories on here:

And I am doing really badly. I sometimes cant even walk, but everynight the pain

keeps me up, feels like constant electrecutions that won't go away.

 

Thank you.

I have no idea about this condition, but in my experience if you have

an infection that is aggressive, then you need to hit it hard and

with the right drugs, the RA treatment advocated by TB would have

been of no use to my aggressive ReA, thus I took Cipro (1.5G per day

with plenty of water) in high doses for cycles of 6 weeks, then

followed up with Biaxin at 500Mg per day for months. I took abx for a

few years and Antifungals for about 18 months. If you going down hill

then I personally would up the drups, more aggressive and more of

them. 2 Places that have been invaluable to me, infection and

I have seen a number of articles lately that implicate low levels of various

nutrients in people who experience PAD. These include Vitamin B-1 and Vitamin D

(http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080416140954.htm). Some of these

studies were done on diabetics, because obviously PAD is very prevalent in

diabetics and there was existing data and there was money available for diabetic

research. Though these studies only offer clues, not answers or specific

treatments, and even if true there could still be some underlying cause for the

deficiency, but with B-1, they found that symptoms did significantly improved

with supplementation.

The first sentence in the following article is, " Peripheral neuropathy is a

condition that has many causes. " Probably best to keep this in mind.

http://www.vrp.com/articles.aspx?ProdID=art555 & zTYPE=2

Have you seen a neurologist? If so, and they were if no help, have you seen

another neurologist? I would assume that not every neurologist is equally savvy

about all of the possible causes or medications related to PAD. I in fact know

this to be true. Not saying there are inadequate neurologists out there, just

some that are bit less savvy. Once you have exhausted the supply of

neurologists in your area, then maybe it would be time to act on treatment and

medication advice from somebody on the internet that you have never met, has no

medical training, and is ultimately unaccountable for their direction.
