I have been wary of taking Inosine because of the fact that I heard it can cause gout and/or kidney stones.
"Although no side effects have been reported with the use of inosine, long-term use should be avoided. A very preliminary double-blind crossover study that enrolled 7 participants suggests that high doses of inosine (5,000 to 10,000 mg per day for 5 to 10 days) may increase the risk of uric acid–related problems, such as gout or kidney stones." So, would it be risky to take the 1000mg that is recommended for Neuropathy sufferers? Probably not. Tough call though. I am still considering it. I know there are some folks in this forum who take it and think they have seen its benefits. |

I wonder though if the brain related damaged mylein is different than the small fiber related mylein. I don't see a them saying it applies to all mylein damage just the brain related. Maybe someone on here knows what's up with that. Of course its mice so, not exactly a confirmed cure. Would need clinical studies. but liek I say why is it reason to panic when mice get cancer from things like aspartame, but when we see something hopeful in mice we poo poo it and say, its just mice doesnt mean much. Judgoing by the comments section below it doesnt look very hopeful but those are MS patients, not SFN sufferers. |

"Topiramate improves both symptoms and objective measurements of peripheral neuropathy while also lowering levels of total cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure and promoting significant weight loss," Dr. Vinik said. Because previous trials had shown that high starting doses of topiramate can be toxic, the patients were administered 25 mg/day, titrated over 42 days to the maximum tolerated dose or 100 mg/day. The patients received the anticonvulsant for 84 more days. By the end of trial, dendrite length and peroneal nerve amplitude had increased, and total neuropathy scores had decreased from 14 to 11.8, Dr. Vinik reported. More important, "intra-epidermal nerve fibers actually grew back," he said. "That was the most dramatic observation." http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/457287 |

I just happy I took both Sphingolin and Inosine for the 3 months I did as the BURN is gone from my thigh. Every now and then I may get a tingle but nothing like it was for 5 yrs after hip replacement nerve damage. I had no fears of trying it and glad I took the chance. So many talked about the dangers but I didn't feel that.
Now I'm going to use a Tens unit and see if the numb thigh could be helped...could the nerves be somewhat restored with a Tens. |
