I am so sorry you continue to suffer with increasing pain.

I went back and read some of your older posts... and it appears your situation is very complex.

The more invasive interventions people have with drugs, surgeries, or invasive testing, the potential for side effects increases quite a bit. These issues combined with genetic potential or environmental insults from food intolerance, drugs, vaccines all add up to a neurological "soup" of sorts, that is difficult to improve or tackle. And doctors are not going to admit to you, that they have perhaps contributed to or caused your grief. Most will just avoid discussion of iatrogenic triggers, and deflect your questions about medical causation.

Have you watched the video by Dr. Wahls?
She reversed her MS (a nerve deterioration) with diet. It is pretty interesting-- here is the link:

I am not saying your problem is identical to Dr. Wahl's...but there are issues, that mainstream doctors do not consider today.

fascinating and informative. I'm ready to eat greens, fruit and seaweed! Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I talk about that book all the time. I have it and have seen all of the videos. Really important information. I eat Seaweed crisps everyday.

My PN and Autonomic Neuropathy continue to improve with low to no sugar and carbs. Never junky carbs or sugar. Everything I eat has to have a lot of nutrients. My doctor suggested eating VERY low sugar even though I have no glucose problems at all. Keeping blood sugar even has been key for me. Not low and not high. Glycation causes oxidation so that is something I do not need.

My supplements have done wonderful things too of course, antioxidents galore, etc.

Dr. Wahl's is doing great work and getting her message out.
