Hi ! i wanted to 'revive' your thread cause it's such a good one.....

Thought i'd share this and maybe it'll kinda work for YOU as well !
I've suspected throughout my 5yr battle w/PN (after ruling out practically everything else) that MAYBE my ordeal DOES have to do with my 'carb' intake. I know which are the good and bad carbs, but i've never had the self-discipline to actually stick with a good healthy plan for very long....well, i've been on a pretty strict diet that centers around the glycemic index stuff and it's only been a week, and i've got to say SOMETHING sure is happening.
In a GOOD way !! Or maybe the supplements i've been taking are kicking in, or both....but i started the B12 regimen from the 'stickies' at the top of this forum amongst the other main ones, and my pain has dramatically reduced.

I'm not quite sure what to think - it seems too soon to get my hopes up because i've had 'up' moments in the past only to be back to square one with the pain levels.....but i dunno man ! Something seems to be changing....

Give it a try - there certainly is nothing to lose! (I know you love cake so don't hate me) but try going for a couple of weeks just eating a strict regimen of the 'good' carbs only.....no cake, no cookies....no sweets.....
no fun! But hey! You could possibly save yourself THOUSANDS of $ in medical bills ruling out other issues JUST by changing our eating habits!

Just thought I'd throw this out there.....
Hopefully more knowledgable ones will come along and expound on what i'm trying to say.....i'm not too good at talking the medical language but i DO NO that glucose levels (pre diabetic conditions), and glycemic index and/or possibly glucose intolerance DOES play a roll....

It's beginning to make a a believer out of me PLUS i'm losing some of the weight i gained on stupid meds (like Lyrica) that has backfired on me....

Later my friend!
