[QUOTE="BaliRob, post: 2349759, member: 36236"] 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 treatment or solution. Dr. Bernstein (above) seems to be convinced that the control of BG levels is the answer and ventures to say that 1mm regeneration of the nerve(s) involved - eg the longest nerves to the feet will take 1,000 days to cure the problem. The contradiction of R.ALA herein is also a good example of - desperation experienced by sufferers. Only victims can appreciate Neuropathy not the medical profession - otherwise there would be some greater publicity and help for us by now. No mention is made of Congestive Heart Failure and badly swollen feet, ankles and lower shin pain and the difficulty those symptoms cause for walking and this is the MOST COMMON HEART CONDITION CAUSED BY DIABETES. The connection between Nocturnal Leg Cramps and Diabetes is not always made - but the cramps ARE caused by Neuropathy. The worst pains are at night and are caused by blood and platelets returning from the lower regions to the torso - yet this is not often explained to the victims who are just told to sleep with their feet elevated. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome operations are frequently suggested for painful fingers, wrists, forearms and elbows when it is DN - see Dr. Bernstein's factual report about Carotid Artery surgery when the cause is ACTUALLY Postural High and Low Blood Pressure causing fainting when standing up. By the way - I have been on low-carb diet for 8 years and mean average BG has been <7.0 mml and the above is MY OWN history. Standard painkillers do not help with the pain and, in many cases, should not be used regularly. If any of you have REALLY benefitted from NATURAL REMEDIES I would be very grateful to hear from you.
