Hi @Rochelle Benn speaking to a few people on here there are a lot of different experiences people have. I can share my experience. This is still fairly new to me. It effects my extremities just hands and feet. This winter it became noticeable. waking up in the middle of the night with my feet...

For me it feels like I'm walking on leggo. @Lyndylou7815 you say the Doctor just passes over this when you mention it? Diabetic Neuropathy is serious, you must not allow them to ignore you. I would suggest making a appointment with your GP to specifically discuss this issue. Then they can not...

Sorry @artfuldodger just reread your post and missed these points. Ibuprofen and other such pain killers wont help with neuropathy as the pain is in the coming from the nerve endings, or lack of, which is the reason I suggested checking with your GP, and upping the dosage of the amitriptyline...

Have you considered an Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) pad. The sales pitch: Electronic foot pads are devices designed to provide warmth, massage, or therapeutic stimulation to the feet. EMS foot pads use low-frequency electrical impulses to stimulate muscles and nerves in the feet...

Hi @artfuldodger my very limited understanding is the brain misinterpreting the lack of input from nerves in the extremities as cold or pain as its trying to replace the lack of information with past experiences and absence of expected signals. However there are also physical symptoms which fly...

Hi @Rachox, sorry I read this last week but just wasn't in a good position to respond. I was diagnosed ( :meh: ) a couple of weeks ago and prescribed Amitriptyline 10mills take for a week and if no benefit up the dose to 20mils for a week still no effect up the dose to 30mils for a week. You...

There was not like option for "sneaky and ingenious" so I had to go with creative. ;) :bag:

Hi @JediMindTricksWS just wanted to check in with you see how your doing and how you got on with the Doctor? How is the pain/tingling if the feet and hands? You said it was worse at night making it difficult to sleep, from my experience and what I've read this is due the effect gravity has on...

Hi @Resurgam I quick google search, hope that counts towards my medical degree, shows I have some of the symptoms but not many; just enough to get a hypochondriac excited. :wacky: I don't think this is an issue for me but I will discus it with my GP, as you said its hard to spot especially if...

Although it has nothing to do with my name @Malgar I am a firm believer in Spoon theory, I don't waste my spoons on the outside world I conserve most of my energy for my daughter. I haven't been tested none of my health professionals who are payed a wage to think of these things thought to...

Ha, I forgot about that. Feels like electric shock or being stabbed with a dart attached to a pneumatic drill. Don't get me wrong there is some pain it doesn't last that long an over all it is mild the hands don't hurt and the feet feel like standing on a cold bathroom floor, that one if...

My feet usually don't feel that cold to the touch, however I am touching them with my own hands. On any given day my fingers are 10 Degrees Centigrade colder than the palms of my hands. On the up side I don't need ice cubes to put something cold down the back of my daughters neck.:angelic: My...

If you live long enough your probably going to run in to some health issue or other. If you don't live long enough you probably had one with out knowing. ;) :bag:

It seems I was too long winded even for my own post. The final part of this post was missing. My experience restless nights hungover and extremely lethargic during the day with no noticeable change pain management. So I'm off the meds now I'd rather be in pain. :coldfeet: I'll get in touch...

Hi all just a little conversation about "many things". I've been away for a while things were going well my sugar control was not as good as it once was but its a marathon not a sprint and things are almost back to normal again. However the reason I re-joined these boards I needed a little...

I can't be the only one who remembers in the way back when and long ago times .... that we never had to have to pause frying bacon, take it out and put it to one side, so we could pour all the water and white gloop out before continuing. :confused: :bag:

Hi@Wicky1723, changes in eyesight can be scary. From personal experience with a sudden change in diet, reducing sugar drastically, there was a noticeable change in my eyesight; I had to put on glasses to watch TV, the TV was the same size and the sofa hadn't moved but things were a little...

Hi @jrose444, I have no idea how hard it must have been to give up meth and how disheartening it must be, to test positive after all the hard work you are still doing to stay clean. Do you use any hemp products, even hemp seeds, as they have been linked to false positives. Even the small...

Hi @derry60 I'm in a similar position I have only just returned, it is nice to see a familiar face. Welcome back. :bag:

I'll check them out thanks for that. :bag:
