Hey, this is my first time posting. I just searched for neuropathy on a search engine and I liked what I saw on here guys. It seems like there are a lot of knowledgeable people with the same condition as myself.

I am a thirty year old male suffering with type 2 diabetes and peripheral neuropathy. I have been diagnosed diabetic for two years and just under a year with neuropathy.

I suffer in my hands and feet, the symptoms came on quite quickly last xmas time. I have got use to them but I do have a question for you all- the last couple of days I have been getting a horrible pain in two of my toes on my right foot. Feels like someone is shooting electric through them. Is this a new symptom? I have also noticed the loss of feeling in my feet been getting worse these last two days when I have my socks and shoes on. Should I be concerned, I look forward to chatting with you all.

Thanks for the welcome guys, i think goldmine is the right way to describe this site. As my friends and family have very little understanding of what I am going through it is good to find people to talk to.

Hi. Hemse:

We are both in the same boat. I was diagnosed with neuropathy in my feet over 2 years ago. The tips of my toes were numb and when I dropped a bottle on my feet, THE ZIPS AND ZAPS drove me crazy for a few hours. My feet also burned.

But you see, I was already a member of this wonderful website and I READ AND I LEARN.

I began taking Methyl B-12. If you clicked on any of the links that Blessings2You provided, you will see that there is a thread on B-12.

Read everything you can about how Methyl B-12 (that's the Methyl Form of B-12, which our bodies need ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE DIABETIC),

I get mine from Puritans Pride. They have awesome sales. Buy 2 get 3 free.

I knew immediately that this product would save my life and it did.

And I'm a diabetic for 22 years. So if it can help ME, then you have a really good shot.

I started with 1000 sublingually (on an empty stomach), and in one week I went to 5000.

After two years, I take it maybe 4 times a week. It stores in the body. My last levels were 2000.

Diabetics need MORE of this and wait until you hear what happened to my friend.

I saw her yesterday. She's my beautician actually and she's a diabetic.

She had gone for a blood test. Her B-12 Level three months before was 500. I had told her. OH MY GOD, you need B-12". Her doctor said "no, that's fine".

Doctors practice medicine, they DO NOT practice NUTRITION.

So I saw her yesterday and she had gotten the most recent blood test results.

Her B-12 level was 300.

I immediately jumped out of the chair and said: "Milla, you have a B-12 deficiency"

She said "yeah, that's what the doctor said and he gave me a B-12 shot".

I asked her "what was in the shot?" and she said "yeah, I asked him and it's cyanocobalimin" (She knows that the body converts it to Methylcobalimin which is what we need)

She also told him about me and my experience with Methyl B-12, and he dismissed me in two seconds flat. He told her "this shot will help you, come back next month for another shot, and start eating meat'

I told her "I haven't eaten meat in over 10 years, and I have more energy at the age of 62 than I ever did at age 40".

I told her where to get the Methyl B-12 and she's going to do it.

And thankfully she does not have neuropathy.

So please search these forums and read all the info on Methyl B-12 and you can decide for yourself if you want to try this product.

There are NO side effects. But if you want to heal your nerves and your cells, this might just be what the DOCTOR ORDERED. (or didn't, lol)

Best of luck

p.s. FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I VIRTUALLY STOPPED MY NEUROPATHY IN IT'S TRACKS. NO ZIPPING, NO ZAPPING, NO PINS AND NEEDLES. Only when the weather changes. For example, it can go from 65 to 85 or from 85 to 60, then my feet will burn slightly.

But I'll take that ANY DAY, over what I went through two years ago.

I shall keep taking my Methyl B-12

Thanks for that, I will look this Methyll up. Cheers.
