Hello Everyone,

I hope you are doing well although I know from the posts that many of you are suffering, such a great supportive group to belong to.

I need a little comfort please if anyone can.

I am new to the group just a few days and have had some wonderful help from Mrs D, Bless that lady and she is on holiday, that is so kind.

I took a course of metranidzole 8 weeks ago and have been left with a terrible neuropathy, the pains are awful and seem to be getting worse. I have seen a neuro, his tests including nerve conduction were normal, I am now trying to arrange a small nerve conduction test.

I have started supplements as suggest by Mrs D, I am doing fish oils, Magnesium, Al cartnine, Benfotamine, B12 and B complex but I am not sure if something is making pain worse. I tested for high B 6 levels so wondered if anyone you found B complex made pain worse. I don't want to bother Mrs D on her holidays again I am sure the poor lady needs a rest .

Can someone help me please and has anyone else had such horrors with metranidazole and does it ease. I really am in a state, I feel as if my life is not worth living with such pain. I am very sensitive to doctors medication so do not want Lyrica etc. I so wish I had not take the metranidazole but it was part of a triple therapy for hpylori and was advised to do so although the hpylori was not giving me symptoms it was found as part of a routine blood test. I know we need doctors but sometimes their meds cause more problems than they cure.

I really would appreciate any help anyone can give.

I wish you all well, do I have any hope of recovery please.

Thank You So Much for listening I am sorry to moan. I do appreciate all the help this group gives to each other


My Very Best Wishes
