I gave this as a reply to a similar question

I will get to exercise too

”I don’t know if any of thi helps but …..I used to get severe cramping - My cramping was so severe I’d pass out and had four staples in the back of my head thanks to that one.I took magnesium sulphate - worked immediately.Vitamins B-1, B-6, and B-12have been found to be especially beneficial for treating neuropathy. Vitamin B-1, also known as thiamine, helps to reduce pain and inflammation and vitamin B-6 preserves the covering on nerve endings.”

Our charity employs 2 personal trainers that do free online sessions for ICU patients & their loved ones. Both have been trainers for many years and Jo is in fact a qualified NHS physio working out of north wales hospital at present.

We run an induction session on Wednesdays where you can discuss your specific requirements.

Exercise exercise and more exercise, I know it's a bitch!😀It's a very slow recovery, don't get disheartened, it will improve. God's grace.
