I hope healing is what you are getting.

Mine turned out to be quite the opposite. All those new symptoms have led me to hell. :(

Those who have experience healing--I am one of them--often did not know it was healing except in long-term retrospect (a good reason for keeping symptom journals, by the way, so patterns can be seen over time). During the process, the attempt of nerves to regrow and reconnect can be painful, and can also result in a lot of unusual parasthetic sensations as the nerve growth cones find their ways through and around other tissues. Many have said that this feels not unlike the original neuropathy attacks they've had, and they only noticed in time that these symptoms (very) gradually lessened or even eventually disappeared. At the time, though, it was often impossible to distinguish this from "flares" or "exacerbations" of symptoms, which might well feel exactly the same.

Our brains have little reference for how to interpret erroneous nerve signals--and that includes the signals that come from nerves attempting to regrow and reconnect, as well as those that come from nerves being damaged. So pain, tingles, zaps, electrical current sensations, pulses, feeling of touch that don't correspond to anything actually touching an area, weird skin tightness feelings, and so on--have been felt in both scenarios.

Hi All,
Quick question, when you experience healing of nerves, I have read on posts that the symptoms can become worse before getting better, but can the healing process also produce new symptoms and in different areas. Interested in any wise thoughts?? Thanks.

Welcome micholson. :Wave-Hello:

Hello rnicholson, no wise thoughts here, just the basics as I understand them. Symptoms vary greatly,healing or worsening. Think positively. Eat nutrient dense foods. Study for Mitochondrial health. Exercise to tolerance. Know your B-12 #(important for all but especially if Metfornin has been taken for extended time). If you feel pain may drive you to depression, seek help. If you cannot sleep, seek help. As this was your first post I am assuming that you are asking about healing pain already. I hope that is the actual scenario but do understand that the human body actually blocks speedy nerve regeneration. Some of the latest research involes knocking down these barriers. P-10 Knockdown. Post and tell us if there was an underlying factor. Usually that has to be addressed first. I would not be suprised if you could be going uphill in one area while going downhill in another. I had been in water therapy for two months working on my right leg when my left leg got lonely and joined the party. So give more info and these folks here have been there. They are a great bunch and have helped me greatly. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.

I am not sure but i think i am healing i reconnaissance allot in what mrs d is saying.
I used to have incredible foot pain that is not slowly numbing the same goose for may hands.
The inflammation i have in my feet is getting less and less but numbness is getting worse in feet and hands i have no idea where this is going to end.
So any ideas how to wake up my nerves agian.

Buy the way i found a article in a australian pain journal that described a clinical trail with 10 patients..they had some form of neuropathy.
8 patients did realy well getting stemcells from there own bodyfat

If you want to know more google "A preliminary report on stem cell therapy for neuropathic pain in humans"
