Hi all,
I’m a type one for just over 30 years. Diagnosis age 18.
I wondered how many, if any of you had been diagnosed with this and if, hopefully, you have been cured or if you have been able to alleviate the symptoms using medication or diet or both. I haven’t been diagnosed but I just discovered the word for my symptoms .. I have a test in hospital on 18th July for circulation after years of pressing doctors and being told to take mineral salts...
I’m quite worried about the results of said test after having had a terribly painful test on my legs last week ( it wasn’t really the electromyography that was painful, but rather the needles they stuck in my calves and twisted, I was in tears if truth be known and begging them in my mind to stop .. but knowing if they did they’d just start from the beginning again). They diagnosed neuropathy but said I could also have claudation... so having looked it up today ... too afraid to do so before, I’m really worried about the consequences.
Basically, I would love you all to say take aspirin for 4 weeks and you’re cured but if any of you know anything about it or have experience of it, I would be really appreciative of receiving some of your knowledge and support.
Thanks in advance
