Hi mrsd. Thank you!

I had the test a month after finishing withdrawing from Risperdal. I went down from 4mg to 1mg of Risperdal the last 1.5 years with no withdrawal. At the end of June I went off the 1mg for 4 days and got a little anxious then read about safety issues with going off without tapering then went back on .5mg and tapered off that the next 6 weeks.

32

12 years. It also factors in diabetes.

I am normal weight. 5'11" 175 pounds. In twelve years I got up to 215 pounds a couple times.

Yes to glucose, and insulin just the last three. Here are the results:

At beginning glucose was 90, insulin wasn't shown
First hour glucose was 206, insulin was 108.0
Second hour glucose was 156, insulin was 121.0
Third hour glucose was 82, insulin was 25.2

The test says insulin is normal below 29.2 for each one.

Prior to the ulnar injury for a few weeks I was wresting on my elbows, which I normally didn't do. I also slept with my elbows bent and was doing maybe improper dumbbell exercises last year. The injury came when I was sleeping with the elbow bent. Now I am not leaning on it and am sleeping with Velcro splints loosely on both arms to remind myself not to bend them.

I am careful about that. I'm eating mostly fish, vegetables, goats milk yogurt, a little amount of fruit, and a lot of water. A couple months ago I was eating/drinking less healthy including a large Pepsi a day and a lot of fruit, bananas, skim milk, whole grain cereal, and salted almonds. Before that I ate processed food and whole food and a couple time periods having sugar drinks. Before that it was mostly processed food.

Thanks mrsd, I appreciate the help.

Only burning feet, no numbness, no cold sensations?

Your fasting glucose was fairly normal. The response to the glucose solution
was high. This is called post-prandial elevation, and occurs in many so called normal people. You can control this with diet, by avoiding high glycemic carbs, and eating wisely like you are doing.

I haven't seen many studies to show how after discontinuing Risperdal/Zyprexa if the diabetes risk goes away...whether it is permanent or not.

Another thing you can do is take thiamine 200mg/day in divided doses. Thiamine helps metabolize carbohydrate and also helps reduce burning pain. This may work for you.

Do you know your B12 actual test number? If it is below 550...I think you should do the B12 we all use here... 1mg methylcobalamin by Jarrow. We get it on line at www.iherb.com or other discount vit places like Vitacost.

Fish oil also helps with neuropathy and helps keep the nerve myelin sheaths, intact and healthy. Not all fish are equal in fatty acid content.

These are beginning ideas that may increase your health, and may reduce some burning. If you were elevated glucose for many years and did not know it, it could have led to your being more prone to diabetic neuropathy.

If I were you I'd start here. If you are on other drugs now, you can PM me with those, because some drugs do deplete nutrients and have a negative impact on health. I'll look them up for you.

Only mildly burning feet. Right big toe is mildly numb sometimes. Fourth and fifth left digits are mildly numb always. No cold sensation. A little burning in mouse using fingers sometimes. One other thing burns a little sometimes.

OK, thanks.

OK, I will.

Thanks, it is 432. I will take it.

Good idea. LOL

I'm not on any other drugs other than supplements.
