My story of my Neuropathy

I am 56 years old I noticed at the age of 50 or 51 my feet started getting real sensitive and tender. as the years went on I mentoined to my Dr. to no avail…..every year they got a little worse.

So 2 years ago I went to a neurologist and I had therapy for 6 weeks,they did the electric procedures and excerise helped some. then I was put on Neutron 300 mg 1 a day then 2 times a day it helps some Then I have tried the Cymbatla- made me sleepy and I gained weight I didnt like the side effects….so last year I asked for some thing else was put on Requip 1 mg at bedtime that has helped …I have noticed 2 times a year my feet are worse spring and fall for a week –I was tested and told the circulation was good in my feet and legs. I then was told to excerise-how can you when your feet hurt? some times real cold water soothes them.

my mother suffered death with her feet-some is herdity.My body dont produce B-12 so I get a shot once a month –so watch your B vit’s .I also have sharpe pains shoot in my ankles and they twitch. I know some where some one has to have a solution for this???? help…..please
