    I have skolyosis , intervertebral disc protrusion at the L5-51 level, and polyneiropathy for almost 2 years in my legs and feets. I took multiple vitamins of B vitamins, but, still my sensation is slow than it was, and sometimes it is more cold than my hands. I actually took analysis of ENMG. It says:The general conclusion with stimulation ENMG of the lower extremities was revealed - duumelination of the tibial nerves on both sides by motor fibers. By sensory fibers, demyelination of the deep branches of the fibular nerve on the right, the gastrocnemius nerve on both sides, the median nerve on the left. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME WHAT CAN I DO TO FULLY CURE IT? THANKS IN ADVANCE

    It typically occurs at the nap hour, and if you are in an environment whereby the room conserves heat too well, then the best approach is to do a before nap time workout routine of your choice for an hour and also remember to keep the dry air out during the summer the best way you know how or winter time using the thermo control with the "fan" control setting on "auto" fan setting simultaneously and not "on". Dry fan air will dissipate at auto setting, and it's good for the lungs when you do your workout out in your room at night before bed. That's my conclusion and cure after 38+ years, too. It seems that at this age, it is the gold standard age experience I've noticed. Human evolution wasn't meant for energy saving high-tech rooms, which trap dry air in rather to the contrary outdoor experience. Who even gets cured off of restless leg syndrome on a couch rather than outdoors doing stuff and then napping in the forest somewhere. I am serious about this. It's a cure on my behalf in every season of the year and counting. My time for a workout is at the 12 mark to 1am. It is cold outside to open windows and dangerous too. unpredictable too if you live with your loved ones.

    I was diagnosed in 1999 with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. Again in 2012. I was also diagnosed with diabetes Type 2 in 2012 and had a heart attack in 2019. For neuropathic pain relief I was started on Gabapentin and Cymbalta. Because of horrid cognitive side effects, Cymbalta was switched out for Effexor. Unfortunately, these cognitive side effects didn't stop, so I stopped using them. I've been taking the following for the above diabetes and LDL: Ezetimibe/Rosuvstatin-Mepha 10 mg/10 mg - 1-0-0-0 (Mo,Mi,Fr,Su) Forxiga 5mg - 1-0-0-1 Metfin 1000 mg - ½-½-0-1 Aspirin Cardio 100 mg - 1-0-0-0 Since about 2014 I've been taking instead of the Cymbalta/Effexor & Gabapentin (as it stands 04. Dec. 2023): R-Lipoic Acid 300 (240) mg - 1-1-1-1 Acetyl-L-Carnitine 750 mg - 1-1-0-1 N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) 1000 mg - 1-0-1-0 Omega 3 (fish oil) 1000 mg - 1-0-1-0 Borage Oil 1000 mg (GLA = Gamma Linolenic Acid) - 1-1-1-0 (stopped 1. nov. 2023) Magnesium 100 mg - 1-1-1-1 The above have helped some. I came to use these through exclusionary processes. IOW, I'd take a substance for a while, noting sensations. Then I'd stop and see what happens. These “passed” this exclusionary process. If I noticed an increase in severity of symptoms when stopping a substance, I could conclude, that it was actually helpful when I was taking it. All of these substances have strong empircal background, having been shown to be effective in clinical studies as well as double blind placebo studies. I then added Benfotiamine starting on 15.08.2023. Helped greatly, most overt pain gone, and numbness seems to be receding from mid thigh to mid calf. Some stomach ache if dosage is over 150mg, so I take 100/150mg 1-1-0-0 / 150mg 0-0-1-0 and 250mg before going to bed (0-0-0-1) - I don't get stomach ache before going to sleep or during the night. I then added on September 5, 2023 (as it stands 04. Dec. 2023): Folic acid 1.7 mg 1-1-1-0 Biotin 5 mg 1-0-0-0 Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg 1-1-1-0 Vitamin B6 P5P 27mg 1-1-0-0 The 4 above plus Benfotiamine & R-Lipoic acid, according to this study, which has been cited many times in meta studies concerning use of supplements to treat neuropathy pain: Maladkar, M., Tekchandani, C. and Dave, U.

Journal of Diabetes Mellitus, 4, 124-132. dx.doi.org/10.4236/jdm.2014.42019 “Results: Treatment led to significant reduction from baseline score in various neuropathy symptoms from the 4th week itself. After 12 weeks of treatment, the mean pain score declined by 78.0%, numbness by 92.1% and muscle weakness by 96.9%. Also, there was 96.0% & 99.2% reduction in tingling & burning sensation respectively. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusion: The current study confirms that fixed dose combination of Methylcobalamin, ALA, Folic Acid, Biotin, Benfotiamine & Vitamin B6 is effective & well tolerated in the management of peripheral neuropathy.” “This PMS included 497 patients with peripheral neuropathy and was conducted at 5 different centers by qualified investigators. The efficacy of the treatment was assessed based on improvement in parameters like neuropathic pain, numbness, muscle weakness, tingling and burning. Investigation of parameters was performed throughout the treatment period on: visit I (baseline), visit II (week 4), visit III (week 8) and visit IV (week 12).” “Patients with peripheral neuropathy were orally administered fixed dose combination of Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg, ALA 200 mg, folic acid 5 mg, biotin 5 mg, Benfotiamine 50 mg & vitamin B6 5 mg once daily for 12 weeks.” Benfotiamine (and/or in combination, for example the so-called "neurotropic B vitamins"): Maladkar, M., Tekchandani, C. and Dave, U.

    Is gamma knife just an umbrella name for all stereotactic radiosurgery? Because I know that I received stereotactic radiosurgery radiation but I don't know what particular kind it was because I don't know what kind of machine was used for my type of radiation. I know that there was a mask made in order to keep my head in place when the radiation was administered and I only had one treatment. I have a benign brain tumor and it's not very large but it was too large to be just watched so I needed to get radiation or microsurgery. So I got radiation 3 weeks ago and it was only one treatment and I'm still suffering from the side effects and I still haven't gone back to work. And I'm still trying to find out if what I'm going through is the normal type of recovery or not since nobody can give me a proper answer since they keep telling me that everybody responds differently. I'm still getting daily headaches and dizzy spells and I'm still extremely tired. And my tinnitus is still extremely loud and very bothersome. I was not able to take the oral steroids that were recommended because I got very bad side effects from that so I had to stop taking it after the first dose. I am pretty sure that the radiation that I received was not gamma knife but somebody mentioned to me that all radiation is basically the same especially when it is used for an acoustic neuroma. I don't know if that is true or not so I'm trying to learn more about what exactly gamma knife is and why it keeps being mentioned when people have an acoustic neuroma. It seems to be the popular choice for radiation for this type of tumor. The way that mine was done was that I came in for a simulation which is where they formed the mask which was something that went behind my head and over my face but it left my nose and my eyes opened and it went over my forehead and my mouth and they also took a cat-scan on that day. I had had a previous MRI done recently. And then there was a 2-week time period where they had to set everything up and figure out my dosage for the radiation and set up the machine for the perfect angle and all of that and then I came back after that two weeks and I had my treatment. It was totally outpatient so it looks like something that was totally different from what is being shown in this video

      Gamma knife uses cobalt 60 as a source of radiation, LINAC and cyberknife use a linear accelerator to generate radiation beam. They are are doing the same thing just by different approach. You likely received radiation by a LINAC or cyberknife since they use a thermoplastic mask for immobilization. I am a radiation oncologist so rest assured you have been treated well. Gamma knife was the first machine developed to deliver precise radiation, that is why you more often hear it. LINAC and cyberknife are newer machines but more flexible. Benign lesions take time to respond to radiation, you will have symptomatic relief over a period of time.

      @@ashfaqahmad-ng8lv I don't think I had any of those types of radiation that you mentioned because the place where I went doesn't have those kinds of machines. I know it wasn't gamma knife because I saw a demonstration of that and the machine where I was actually went around me and the table that I was lying on remained stationary. So I know it wasn't gamma knife cuz that means you would go inside of a machine. And I know it wasn't CyberKnife and it wasn't linac either. So whether it was proton or photon or whatever I don't know. But it's not just for brain tumors where I went. They do radiation for all kinds of tumors. So maybe there's another kind that wasn't mentioned. I'm not sure the radiation therapist really knows what kind of radiation I was given but it was stereotactic radiosurgery and that's all that I know. I had it done at Einstein main hospital in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

      Gabapentin Enacarbil is currently the go-to medication and iron infusions. Drs are moving away from dopamine agonists, like Ropinirole and Pramipexole. Since 2016, I have been taking Methadone, 5 - 10 mg, at bedtime. It's been a blessing. Works 80 percent of the time.

I'm 62 years old and had sugary (Lumberactomy) on both L4 & L5 discs in 1985, and recoverd from those long ago. However, the current situation was from moving some heavy furniture last year.
