[QUOTE="Gingermick, post: 1782661, member: 473554"] I did say to my doctor that this just doesnt happen, this massively, but he was non-committal. I have had nerve damage since the year 2000 ( a "war" wound from Kosovo) and have tried all sorts, most havent worked. 2 years ago, my old GP left, and was assigned a new one, and he was willing to investigate my nerve damage further. He put me on an anti-epileptic pill, which, granted, was very effective at blocking the pain, however the longer I took it, the more I would develop sporadic muscle spasms, in my eyes, lips, face, legs, hands and arms. Over time the lentgth of spasm got longer and longer, up to 40 mins! So I stopped taking them, and eventually (6months) they stopped and at the same time as this, I was losing weight, with ease, 10 kgs in 2 years, without really trying! It sounds weird but that is the only thing of notice in the last 2 years, and I put my diabetes down to those drugs, I may be wrong, but the timings are uncanny. [/QUOTE]
