My name is River.......and for years I cried me one!!!

I suffered with PN for YEARS with no relief and prayed for the good Lord to take me. It finally occurred to me to see a doctor. I won't bother you with all the treatment he put me on because I want to get right to the one that WORKS!

I had nasty sores break out on my legs. A nurse came to the house 3 times a week to treat them, for 2 years. Finally she called the doctor and wanted me to go to the hospital, and so that's where he sent me. Upon admission they found my heart rate was 177 when it shouldn't be over 100. The nurse told me later they expected me to die.....nice eh? lol They called in the heart specialist and he started me on a few meds, IV. While in there for 2 weeks I had NO PN pain whatsoever! None, including the week after. 3 weeks with no pain, I couldn't believe it!

Next time I saw him I asked why and he said he mixed up a little cocktail for my IV.....LIDOCAINE!

I now go to the hospital once a month and have lidocaine infusion. I've been doing this for over a year now and it's a miracle worker. I also take Gabapentin caps 3 times a day........that's it! Trust me people, the lidocaine infusion works. Now your system might get used to the dosage in which case they just increase it.

I'd love to hear if anyone else has found this treatment helpful.

I live in Ontario, Canada
