Xmas sucked

You know what I'd like for xmas? , death......at the moment my leg is beyond belief with its tugging, pulling constant electric jolts 24/7 and the specialists are just booking me in at their convenience.....28th of Feb is classed as an urgent apt. I hope they had a happy xmas because I have a shit one. Spent most of it bed, drugged up trying to get away from this torture. I"m nearly at the end....I can't do this much longer.......has anyone found anything natural to help them?, if so could you pass it on......I will try it.

Have you considered whether the pain is worse after you have eaten certain foods? I avoid all preservatives, anything containing citric acid, cornflour, maize starch etc. Also foods containing histamine. Many fruits and sauces. When I get the horrible burning electric pain it can last up to 48hrs and I can usually link it to something I’ve eaten.

Have you tried magnesium spray?

Epsom Salts/ Magnesium Flakes in your bath if you can have one.

Leg and foot stretches, just a few at a time but regular throughout the day. Loads available free online.

Heat or freeze sprays, tens machine, vibration plate. Weighted blanket, heated blanket/throw, massage.

Apologies if you've already tried all of this, if not, hope some of this helps 🤞

I'm so sorry you are suffering so much. I don't know the answer to this horrible neuropathy. And you are right appointments are booked way out. It does suck. I just don't think any doctor knows what to do. I have an mri booked for March. It's crazy!!!!!!

A neighbour suggested I try CBD and claimed it eased his pain a smidgeon. So I bought a bottle. But I never got to find out if it would help me, and the community nurses saw the bottle before I'd tried it and took it away with them, telling me never to touch the stuff again! But I am tempted... but best not, methinks. I called at my neighbour's flat to advise him.
