I AM SO EXCITED! Sorry about the caps. I'm just very excited. Here's the story. I have a severe case of bipolar disorder type I, and my doctor and I recently decided the best treatment for me would be to go off of my bipolar meds (long story), and instead approach the illness with good diet, exercise, sleep, etc. So, amazingly, when I started eating well, my PAIN DISAPPEARED! It was amazing. I didn't even need my lyrica! I've never gone so many days without pain. I went for "long" walks with my dog, I stood for more than a minute at a time, I stopped thinking peripheralneuropathyperipheralneuropathy constantly. Then, yesterday, I ate a McFlurry (yum) and what do you know? That night, the pain came back big time and I needed to take an oxycodone. So that's my discovery! Sugar=pain for me. I know I'm prediabetic and I have to wonder if it isn't perhaps partly the cause of my "idiopathic" PN, despite my doctor's assertions that it's not. Yay I figured something out!!!!
