Hopeful,

John's PN was most likely caused by the antibiotics he was on back in 2002. I'm sure there were other contributing factors too. We were told if it didn't clear in 12 months, then it probably wouldn't. Then we were told by another doc 18 months. Well none of that held true. He continued to have healing well beyond that. We did a lot of things to help heal the nerves and his body. In the beginning his pain level was at a 9 or 10. Now, if he had to rate it, he would probably say it's a 1 to 1.5. So don't give up. Focus on improving your overall health and look at the nutrients like R-lipoic acid and acetyl-l-carnitine as well as the the b vitamins. Anything that supports your mitochondria would be helpful too.

Early on, he got a lot of relief using the Rebuilder. His feet will still swell and burn when it's hot out. And they are sensitive to touch. But he does not have the constant pain anymore. Much of the numbness resolved too. In the beginning, he had no reflexes when the doc tapped under the knee. That resolved too.
