I have some nerve damage from an infection....I don't know WHY, but I do. the infection was in my bartholin gland (so inside the tissues). I did not take antibiotics for it at the time (dr said it was too late)
question is, do they grow back ? they are peripheral nerves of my private bits (fun times). I'm only 26 and in good health otherwise. I take a lot of supplements for nerve health as well and I caught the neuropathy early, starting amitriptyline after 1 month of symptom onset. thank you

I don't know if there's a definitive answer for every situation, but I know that optimism/positive thinking are more likely to improve chances than pessimism/negative thinking, and it looks/sounds like you're doing that and everything else within your power to do.

I've had someone at my support group meeting today tell me that if my 50 mg of amitriptyline has cut my pain down to a 0-1 then I am one of the few who has responded (from the group) and that I'm lucky to have it work for me....
I'll ask for lyrica when I see my new pain consultant.... my latest symptom has been tingling and itching, I'm really hoping they are starting to grow back or at least quiet down some more of their buzzing

I don't think anyone can tell you whether the nerves will heal or not, but they might. The body has amazing healing abilities, beyond what most doctors have been taught. Eat a healthy diet with plenty of whole vegetables and fruits. Avoid sugar, processed carbs, and processed foods in general. And get some exercise.
As I posted 10-29-13: See the podcasts here, several regarding supplements: http://www.beatingneuropathy.com/ I think the one on magnesium and the one on alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl-l-carnitine are very important. Also there is an image here titled Nutrients for Neuropathy that I copied from a book I had (let me know if you can't get to these): https://sites.google.com/site/basicpoke/Home/neuropathy Ron |

I have a medication formula in my mind already: 50 mg Ami, 150 mg Lyrica, 1 Tramadol and topical lidocaine, I might be able to have some type of a relationship
