The sticky threads are at the top of each forum.

Generally they are specific to that forum (eg, the PN forum).

I have been supplementing copper and D3 for over 2 months now and exercise as best I can on a regular basis and feel that I am getting gradually worse.

I am getting laser and light treatments along with acupuncture in my lower legs to try and regain some feeling in my feet. I am not diabetic and I have no issues with my spinal cord and brain, they cannot find any pinched nerves.

I know I am in what might be the earlies stages of this but any kind of advice, direction or encouragement would be greatly appreciated. I have been in great shape my whole life and take excellent care of myself; diet and exercise.
I am 45, married and have 4 younger children who need their daddy to be healthy. Thank you in advance for anything.

God bless!

Yes, I agree. My neuropathy has definitely healed too somewhat but it has been a slow process and at first I didn't even recognize that it was actually getting better. But when I stop and remember how much pain I used to feel walking the dogs for a couple of blocks. I would limp and have sharp shooting pains along with other kinds of pains and have to go very slow and be in a fair amount of pain overall.

It has been quite a while since walking the dogs has caused me very much discomfort. There is definitely still numbness but I don't get totally wiped out after going grocery shopping or shopping of any kind like I used to.

I have struggled to stay off the pain meds and it looks like I may succeed. I take aspirin now and then when I may have one of my bad days but mostly I do the B12, Bcomplex, benfotiamine (which may be the real reason for the healing IMO, don't know for sure) and ALC, ALA, MSM, Glucosamine, NAC, and lots and lots of other vitamins and supplements.

I have stayed away from doctors for a couple of years now, so I have no recent nerve velocity test to compare. Will probably try that again just for a checkup but I HATE doctors so much, they might cause me to have a relapse.
