@Finzi - please read my reply @hopeful below. I think I will go back to incremental use of Lasix again. Regarding Porridge. I would ask you to obtain a copy of the eight-year research programme commissioned by Starbucks into the efficacy of Porridge as a healthy breakfast for those with...

@hopeful Regarding the drug Spironalactone (Aldactone) This drug is not available in Indonesia and I think I would have an impossible task getting it through Customs because of its reputation. From all of the papers I was able to research - extreme caution should be exercised when...

Please see my reply below

@ickihun - thank you so much for your very warm response - seeing your medical history - I feel guilty being here hahaha. Until the poisoning illness (Aug and Sept) locals would not believe that I was in my 80's insisting I was in my 50's decade.

Hello Marie - thank you for this information - here in Bali, Indonesia - the use of Ginger is practiced I have just learned. I will compare local quality with that of Amazon's. Are you sure that it can help my problem - I appended two attachments with my first reply - please check to see if my...

@KK123; Dr. Snoddy; ianf0stor and Robbity2 - well this is a surprise - I have been a member for many years and moaning about my condition hahaha - and four buses come along at the same time. How can I be polite to the food experts when I say to them that I have not had a potato for years, never...

@Joe_the_boat. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to try and help me. I know I look to be the patient that does not visit his doctor but this is Indonesia. For example - a brand spanking new hospital opened near me and I took the opportunity to ask the resident heart specialist if I...

I realise that I am coming to the end of the road and that, with Type 2 for some 20 years (who knows?), very serious Diabetic Neuropathy and Congestive Heart Failure I should not expect much improvement - especially when doctors here say that they are unable to help me - I am still going to...

I would like to part with the secret of my success after some 40 years plus of enjoying rollups every 20 minutes where possible. Yes, I was addicted and knew it. Some 20 years ago now and after the deaths of my wife and children I had the earnest desire to quit smoking. Please remember the...

What do you expect - WHEN at first diagnosis the doctor prescribes Metformin and Statins like automatons. No wonder the DNs are typecast. I became a new man when I removed myself from Metformin and Statins after some 10 years painful nights

So happy to see that you found a solution to your nocturnal lag cramps - one cannot over-exagerate just how painful they are especially if in both legs at the same time hips down to feet - can actually cause a state of unconsciousness! BUT I DO HOPE THAT THE DOCTOR WHO TOLD YOU TO TAKE QUININE...

Forgive the follow up to mine of a few minutes ago. Have read through your kind references and found that Thiamine x 300mg x daily is a HIGH dose. You say you take 600mg x daily - can you comment abount this please - I see that you appear to be of slight stature in your pic - so wonder about...

Thank you Aby - just the sort of helpful information I have been waiting for.

I have been suffering from the most extreme Diabetic Neuropathy for ten years and have many times pleaded for help on this Forum and never have had a single reply. This is the only thread which appears to have some idea of the terrible pain caused by DN but still cannot give a definitive...

Even without Diabetes - daughters can be notoriously difficult to understand or deal with at this age until about 19 years of age. You have the whole Forum's sympathy for your plight - I am certain. Please SCREENSHOT and print this letter you have sent to us because, in the very near future...
