My doctors just kind of shrug when I mention this symptom. It's just one of many odd things I feel.

I've been on the low carb diet since about October, although I had been cheating quite a bit which I've stopped doing. From a year ago, I can definitely say my symptoms have not worsened at all, and I'm pretty sure have improved. I say that I'm "pretty sure" because there's a big psychological aspect to this. I'm no longer panic-stricken by it all, and it's a fact that anxiety makes symptoms worse.

Without a doubt, though, the horrible zapping nerve pain is at a minimum now. That nasty pain would sometimes keep me from sleeping as I'd lie awake all night in misery. That's definitely stopped. I think that started improving when I started the R Lipoic Acid supplements, but it was also not too long later that I started cutting out carbs significantly.

I definitely am at a point now where I have more good days than bad, but there's never a day that I'm without symptoms. I've just kind of adjusted to my "new normal."
