if you were "binging" on the food at the same time,lol i would persue the diabetic angle post haste.....also the foot injury possibility would be higher if you were suff. "stoned" not to notice,yes? if you have access to glucose testing equipment (family/friend, what ever) try checking your post prandial (after eating, about 45-60 minutes) blood sugar....and get the insulin levels that mrsd suggested as well...good luck

I know that stress can aggravate PN never heard about it causing PN.
How were you tested for prediabetes or diabetes? If it was just a fasting overnight glucose test, I would not consider it to be a good test, there are plenty of type 2 diabetics around with normal fasting sugars, to test properly as MrsD said, an insulin level test would be my first choice or a 3 hour glucose tolerance test.
Can you tell us what your B12 levels were when tested ?
Nide is 100 % correct about in saying what some doc's believe are normal levels of b12, but they can be dangerously low.

i saw the quote where did you find the second sentence males who smoke.. thanks for the info.. i have not smoked in 4 months ... did a 6 month bing cause this ( 2/3 joints a day ) . the pain started on the ball of my feet then moved to my toes (numb) ..now it is both..what are your thought of this going away.. i went to a nuro doc . all tests ok.. i still need to take the sm. nuro blood test and a skin test. i know there are alot of tests and they can go on and on and cost $$$$ i have been on my back , currently unemployed hence the excessive mj use my ? is from your knoledge can this go away over time ? I'm 43 will my nerves grow backover time.. i just received my b12 and niacine vits today..i'll give them a try..thanks again pb...any other ? i should be asking

Once you get the blockages, they don't reverse.[/QUOTE]
So quitting smoking (if you've got it) won't help at all, will it?
But continuing to smoke ......will it get worse, if its already there?

i think i have pn not pad per article. my legs are ok.. just my feet or is pad related to pn?

is pad the same as pn
 

is pad the same as pn. i havent had th pad signs just the pn signs. i hope pn is different than pn and pn can go away or a chance of. also has anybody tried the supplents online that have a 90 % sucsess rate.. i,m new the sit so hopefully my threads/answers are coming up . thanks

pad vs pn
 

So are you saying that if I have pn then i also have pad. You are scarring me...can you just have pn and not have pad or do they go hand and hand. thanks for your replies . i know you are not a dr. but i am trying to find out as much as possible on my end. per my past replies my test came back ok. any vitamins or other medicine I can take to reverse th damage I have done. I just stated taking niacin 100mg and b-12 5000 mcg. I am also taking 50 mg of elavil ( i am bipolar so psy doc doest want me on more mg. says that is stnd dos for pn .. 150 seemed to reduce pain what is normal mg. Thanks for your replies

ok
 

thanks for the clarification. any answers to my other ?'s. you seem to know alot about pn. I know very little and am trying to get as much info as possible. you would think I would find more info on excessive cannibas use causing pn online ( yes for alcohol). i know we are all different but you would think there would be more info putting the two together. I know you are not a dr. but in your knowledge over time can the body correct the nerves?.. I wish somebody else out there had a view, Thanks for your replies I am in pain and am trying to figure this out being all new to me

thanks for info
 

where is the search button . i dont smoke cig. and the bing i had was for 6 months 3 joints aday (strong mj). my syptoms started about after 5 months. ball of feet started to hurt. then ball feet turned crunchy and really hurt when walking. went to gen dr 3 times ? and sent to pod. for ortho supports that didnt help pain gotworse went to foot doc and he said i had pn front of feet were numb used pin and didnt feel then went to nuro for blood test and emg and pin test. i havnt smoke mj for 5 months so maybe it will take a year . i will try to find search button and lookinto the above vits. what amounts . thanks again for all your help . i really feel my pn is from the bing , i'm sensitive to meds hence the heavy mj use for 6 months leading to pn. the question is did this cause permant damage or over time will it get better. i know you dont have a glass ball to predict the future and everybody is different but what are the odds of improving over time with the above vits. and never smoking anything again. thanks alot for all your input it gives me alot of hope that this will go away ( i hope ) over time ( who knows) . am i the only person who had a mj bing and have pn. if so i went way overboard i do admit that is alot but you would think others have smoked 3 a day and didnt get pn .....then again i am sesitive to meds...thanks again for all your help.

unfortunately xray were ok no broken bones. I deffinately have pn. all the signs. i found the search feature and site that sells the above vit. in your opinion what is the normal length of time for nerves to heal.
any other groups or chat rooms where I might find the info i am looking for.thanks
