Mine is still "idiopathic" (hate that word)! what caused your neuropathy? sorry for all the questions, but im trying to understand about the vits & supplements. I take most of those that have been recommended by people on here. Are they just for diabetic neuropathy or do they help with other neuropathys? They dont seem to help me yet anyway.: also, you said you have/had dysautomomia, your blood pressure is afffected, is that whats casuing it to go up and down?
You need a new doc. fasting of 167 is NOT ok! and there have been those here at neurotalk, that have had sx and not YET dx with DM and went on to improve with better diet, ie lowered the sugar/calories. won't hurt you, may help. Do you take benfotiamine?
