[QUOTE="martinbuchan, post: 2316, member: 718"] Hi Abi I ignored my symptoms for a long time. Thought my foot numbess was tarsal tunnel syndrome (wishful thinking). I was so tired in 2005 - thought it was just due to working too hard (lots of extra lists and building up my meager private practice). You get used to working through tiredness as a junior doctor. HBOT has very clearly defined indications (mine is osteomyelitis of 1st & 3rd metatarsals and medial cuneiform). The few reports on autonomic neuropathy look at improvement of the various cardiac indices (means little to this orthopod). HBOT for neuropathy is not on the indications lists as yet. Seems alpha lipoic acid should be prescribed though. A1c ran at 6.5% last year . It will climb again when I get back to operating, driving, on call etc. I am thinking of measureing my A1C before and just after my weeks on call (one in 5). I am sure it rises as I give my BG a bit of reserve capacity for sudden emergency calls. Marty B [/QUOTE]
