Gee....wish I could make that environment in my little world! Well, I'm working on it....
Hi Liza, yep i agree, the right environment does mean a lot and all that you mentioned, but for me it meant initially to take away that the thing that was assaulting my nerves, that being my prediabetic state, once that was reversed they were in the right environment then to start the slow healing process and of course the B vitamins which i was really lacking, nourished and fed my nerves which played an important part too.

Anyway i have been on 200 mg x 2 Tramadol slow release since the start of this rotten disease, about 4 years and even though i felt pretty good a while back, i asked if i could try to stop taking the tramadol, but my doc was of the opinion " if its working good stay with them " so i did and seeing i needed pain relief for my hip, but 4 days ago i run right out of tramadol and i never got any replacements since, i don't feel any worse, no differant at all really, i think its had time to get out of my system, so i am pretty bloody happy about that So if anyone tells you your nerves can't regenerate, tell them that's crap, if they are in the right environment, they can.
all the best

((((((Brian))))))

For sure!!!!! about the regeneration!

Well i have not had any Tramadol for about a week now and everything is still great.
The only small irritation now is that my feet get cold at night, feels strange actually, it is cold at night over here but nice weather during the day, its been so long since i felt the cold in my feet, but nothing a pair of socks won't fix, i am that used to walking bare footed all the time, it really feels weird to have to put socks on.

Thanks everyone for all your support and well wishes.
Brian

What totally great news!

I have to keep my feet warm, too.

Even on a warm day, if I have a fan on, I have to keep my feet under something, a sheet if not a quilt when I don't have shoes on.

But hey, that's doable.

But isn't it ever exciting?

It was over ten years ago when I first found out about my low B12, and at that time the word was sort of that the nerve damage would be permanent.

The neurologist I went to thought I could have improvement for two years, which was a lot longer than general practioners I saw at a clinic had said.

(I just wish I could stop thinking about this court stuff and go to sleep. I was almost asleep three times, and then all of a sudden the court stuff would be in my mind and I'd be wide awake again.)

Your messages are such a high, though, I'm happy to read them.
