I was diagnosed with Diabetes a little over a year ago, and when i began studying it, i learned about peripheral neuropathy. I too have a herniated disk, but did not experience any stabbing pains or numbness from that, that i remember. However, now I am beginning to have stabbing pains all over my body, not just my feet! It was so bad last night that i began a search and found this site and this thread.

My cousin had it for no known reason, so badly she could not put her feet on the ground. I researched natural cures for her and found one listed on *edit*, called "Nerve Support Formula for Relief of Peripheral, Diabetic & Poly Neuropathy Nerve Pain", by WSN. We researched the ingredients, which are all natural, and she made her own tea and did gain great relief. I am considering buying it, if i can find the $$ (it's about $44/mo).

I am reducing my weight and monitoring my blood sugars and taking my meds with rarely a miss. I have lost over 40 pounds in the past year, and hope to continue with that. Ultimately i hope to go off the diabetic meds and reverse the effects which include peripheral neuropathy. Please, wish me well.
