((((((((Belinda)))))))))

Boy do I ever identify with you... thinking that the thing you were so excited about couldn't be it after all.

I do that soooo much. Despite how much B12 has helped me, I'm always thinking it couldn't really have done this or that...

At least once a week I think of how I'm like the Jews wandering in the desert for 40 years... only I lose faith in as many hours.

I'm glad you are sticking with it...

Me too!

We should put the sugar industry out of business.

We'd be a lot healthier!!!

well..it is good as an exfoliator. as a face scrub..it's gentle and rinses off very well.

other than that...just not good for you.

Well, as an example of my disability and lack of working memory...

I read your post and thought, wow, I could use an exfoliator... I wonder what she's talking about...

I thought maybe you ground up peach pits or something.

I was sure there must be another mention of it in this thread, whatever it is, and so I went to work looking for it.

But I couldn't find anyone else mentioning the exfoliator.



So I read just the post on top of yours, again...

and...

I bet you mean sugar!

And I bet mostly everyone got that.

I just do not put things together well anymore. Darn it!

(and, I don't have any sugar and I need an exfoliator)

Default Use Oatmeal.
Make a paste, and gently wash your face. All dead skin comes off and your skin is nice and pink.

I use the Susan Lucci gadget with the crystals. The face gets nice and creamy after that thing.

And look at her. She's 60. Jeez, she doesn't look it!!!

Yes, she's totally amazing.

I think they don't give her awards out of jealousy.

Cool Smirk This is good news....
...for you. It's great that you are having less pain. When I forget to take my Lyrica I consider it a small sign that things are improving. After all , usually the pain is reminder enough!

Was so amazed at the perfect lack of pain all week.
Then yesterday...was feeling so great forgot my morning dose and left it at home. OMG did I deal with some pain in the evening. Became extremely depressed thinking it is not the sugar at all...I will never get any relief, etc. HOWEVER, in the light of day I realize that nothing occurs overnight, my pain is still MUCH LESS than it has been in months and I will not stop eliminating the sugar no matter what. I have needed to get my sugars under control for a LONG time before I have a stroke or something, I feel better mentally and physically than I have in a long time when I eliminate the sugar, and it WILL have a long term effect on my pain. This morning I am again pain free and was throughout the night!
Belinda - You have the right attitude to succeed in the long run, what i have read so far, you are still doing very well, not taking your morning dose of Neurotin , of course is going to expose your pain again plus getting emotional upset aggravates the heck out of PN, the two combined is an awfull combo for PN, like pouring petrol on a fire.
Please remember that you may have bumpy road whilst healing as it is a slow process, but its all very worth it in the long run, believe me.
good luck i know you can do it.

Default Just an update:
Hey guys---Will, I'm into my 9th NO SUGAR day and here is how it is going.
I have had ZERO pain (unbelievable) minus the one episode where I forgot my morning dose of neurontin.
However, last night I had some mild/tolerable foot pain before bedtime...and again this morning. As you can imagine, I am somewhat terrified about this...that it will return with full severity, full time...however, I am just going to keep on keeping on and see what happens.

Interesting note......my sister, whose diabetic PN is equal to, if not worse than mine...had been in excruciating, bedridden pain for two weeks. She refused to even try what I was doing, saying it wouldnt work, she couldnt give up sugar, etc. After a week of my being pain free, she began taking her insulin again, got her sugar levels WAY down, and has been pain free now for 2 and a half days!! SHE ACTUALLY WALKED HALFWAY TO HER SON'S HOUSE (about 3 blks for her)....and no one could believe it!
