Default Hi Healthgirl,

I can offer you empathy; they *suspect* my neuropathy has an autoimmune cause. My bloodwork is mostly negative, however. So it's symptom management for now. I did find that amitriptyline, 50 mg at night helped me sleep by calming the worst of the twitching and nerve "zinging" pain. I am just now starting neurontin.

I'm reading Dr. Terry Wahl's book about diet & MS. From an autoimmune standpoint it's making sense. The changes are quite drastic for me. ;-) I love my gluten and sugar.
