Default Hello crime of passion

Welcome to Neuro Talk. There will be alot of information on this site to help you. Also there are many compassionate folks who will care.
I take it that you don't have heath insurance to cover all the doctors calls. You are right about seeing docs. that cost $300. You don't want to be brushed off for that amount of money. I don't blame you.

I have PN. You are spot on about the suppliments. I did not believe they would help. Didn't believe in all the B12 stuff etc. I wound up finding a doctor in a medical field you may not have heard of. She is a physiatrist. This type of doctor is a pain specialist first, but also deals with the whole body on a cellular level. After a year on these suppliments encluding B12 shots weekly, my PN has gotten better. It isn't gone, but the sharpness of it is greatly reduced. I was able to get off most of the pain killers I was on. She gives them to me as i need them, so I have them, but truthfully I don't take them much at all. I am walking better all the way around.
If you would try this type of doctor, just maybe you will find the type of help you need to get better. My doctor listens, and never brushed me off. I am glad I made this change. Look up this field of medicine, and you may find this as a direction to try.

I am here anytime to talk to. I hope that some relief from this PN can be found for you. Wish it didn't cost the money for these docs. but sometimes it is worth it to give another try. Keep in touch. ginnie
