Peripheral Neuropathy in feet

Hi everyone. I have painful , numb feet due to PN for about a year. Did not improve during dialysis and now that I recently had a kidney transplant I am hoping there may be some change? Treating it with pregabalin for the pain.

Has anybody else had the same and found any improvement?

I had intractable neuropathy such as you describe, but it was caused by many decades of diabetes. It improved quickly when I started taking benfotiamine, a concentrated form of vitamin B which was thought to block diabetic complications at the beginning of the 21st century, but which turned out only to diminish neuropathic pains.

Hi, everybody with ANY medical conditions must totally stop any animal consumption and switch to WFPB diet, Whole food plant based diet, sugar, oil, and salt free. I went vegan 16 years ago and will never look back, gad a history of type 1 diabetes with complications and fad been on insulin fir 26 years, since childhood. Consuming dead animal flesh is not just unethical but devastating to your health. I’ve been able to significantly improve my health with a vegan SOS free diet and and doing 20/4 intermittent fasting. I work out daily. Have a full time highly stressful job. I reversed joint ache, nerve pain, always maintain my BMI around 20-21 which is ideal. My lipid profile is envy to my doctors. Don’t load your kidney with all that toxic waste ingested when consuming animals and animal excretions such as dairy and eggs. My best to all!
