When you mentioned that your feet became red in the summer it makes me think that you do not have neuropathy, but rather have Erythromelalgia. Erythromelalgia is often treated with Asprin. People with Erythromelalgia sometimes get great relief with high doses of Asprin. Its a rare disease often misdiagnosed as something else....I know because I have it.

Hi All,
I suffer from PN and take gabapentin (900 mg) at night with mild relief. Mine is related to nerve damage from the stenosis I had. The aspirin idea sounds interesting and as to the a dose of 500mg, 2 regular tablets are 325mg each and the adult dose is 2 tablets every 4 hours for pain. In my opinion, if someone doesn't have an allergy, bleeding tendencies, on a blood thinner, and take it with food, it shouldn't be a problem. If anyone has any concerns, they should ask their physician. I used to take Bextra and got really good relief with that and then they took it off the market. Aspirin is the oldest NSAID and I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the info! Rhonda |

Mrs. D:
Could you please tell me exactly what to ask for in terms of getting the Alka-Seltzer with Aspirin ... I would like to try it for my diffuse small-fiber neuropathy. Thank you as always! David |

When very severe I use a full packet which contains two effervescent tablets, at bedtime.
But in the past I have used one tablet, and carefully folding the foil packet up over the remaining one, daily. As I said before I never used it EVERY day, but in bursts of 3-7 days during flares. I don't want to use aspirin every day, with the risk of cerebral microbleeds that hit the news a couple of years ago, regarding daily aspirin regimens. With the AlkaSeltzer form I have no GI side effects at all. I think the AlkaSeltzer blasts your metabolism that causes the burning in the feet. Mine always seems to stop for a while with it. I buy mine generically at WalMart.... it is so inexpensive that way, you wouldn't believe.

Aspirin is just an anti inflammatory. Why not get at the cause and avoid side effects at the same time? Use a homeopathic.
*edit* Note: Most of my fellow podiatrists would consider me the idiot because I did not blame it on ingrown toenails. when someone tells you homeopathics are a fraud; read the testimonial pages Last edited by Chemar; 03-12-2011 at 05:24 PM. Reason: NeuroTalk Guidelines |
