HI Caroline,

Thanks for your response and support.! I was a casual drinker, but I don't drink anymore now for a year. Got to where just a couple of drinks would make me feel lousy.

I have a big sweet tooth, so yes I did eat a lot of sweets. I did not think this was a problem with normal blood sugars. As soon as this problem hit, I have cut out all sugar and carbs.. I bought a glucose meter and have been testing my blood twice a day for a week.. All normal.

I don't take any prescriptions

No surgeries

So if this was caused by sugar intake or my past moderate alcoholic intake, do you think it could be reversed by cutting all that out? If that is the cause, I must have some genetic disposition, because no one else I know has got it from that.

Thanks!

I would think it all can improve, changing what we put in our mouths....how much damage has been done, is the key now.

Like in my situation and it's 10 yrs since major surgery, I've improved but some nerves are dead forever...

HaveMercy check out the posts from glenntaj here. He had a similar bodywide presentation overnight like you did except he had no symptoms at all before that. I'm not sure how far the posts go back here on this incarnation but he has described his journey many times and is doing much better now.

Welcome HaveMercy.

Hey Have Mercy,

I read your heartbreaking post and noticed that you must have had your appointment with the neurologist by now. What was the outcome?

I can't add anything I'm afraid, but offer my support and sympathy.

Take care,

Atty

Welcome, HaveMercy,
I can't come up with any answers for you but I hope that your appointment with a neurologist was helpful.

Quite often some medicine a person is taking turns out to be the problem--but you don't mention taking any.

Best wishes to you and your family.

Hi Agate,

Thanks for the support. My appointment with my Neurologist was not that great really. He seemed unconcerned and said it sounds like non length sensory neuroptathy. He gave me a script for blood test and and cymbalata. I am now looking for a 2nd opinion.

The only thing I was taking before my condition started was taurine, L-argine, and L-caratine amino acids, and some vitamins. No prescription drugs. I have since stopped those with no change.

My symptoms are the same now 3 weeks into this.. Full body parathesia, and burning pain in my feet.

Wondering about the Grape Seed extract - what dosage is recommended to take?
