Another round of neuropathy coming! Anything I can do?

[BuddhaBar]

2 Christmas glutenings and now I found out I've been slowly ingesting poison from the new coffee machine at work. The coffee itself is gluten free, but it comes out from the same pipe as cocoa and other drinks which I found out today had gluten in them. This is a major one folks! 

Gallbladder and all that is fine now, but I've been having neuropathy itch for a week. Today the itch slowly began to transform into the horrible zip zaps I had all over my body a few years ago. 

I know the source now so no more coffee and the neuropathy will pass, but is there anything I can do to ease it? I hate neuropathy! Would rather have D for a month!

I don't know for sure if it would help but you could try some sublingual B12. It can aid in healing nerves if your glutenings impacted the levels.

Supplements should help, but of course the main thing is to cut out all gluten, which it sounds like you've done.

BuddhaBar,

I dislike neuropathy, too!

"Peripheral Neuropathy Due to Vitamin Deficiency, Toxins, and Medications"

I take B12, Vitamin C, B6, and thiamine (B1) and thiamine's partner, magnesium, for the neuropathy.  Sometimes I take copper.  

That's all for the neuropathy.  To help me relax, I take tryptophan and L-Theanine.  I have also used passion flower extract and CBD oil.  Epsom salt (magnesium again) baths help.  

A hot water bottle pressed on problem areas works well for me.  

Find something for your mind to focus on, like a suspense movie  or a mystery.  Or a hobby, like knitting.  I try to find a project where I have to concentrate on something besides my buzzing toes! 

Stay hydrated. Don't eat sugar or carbohydrates. 

Lay on your back and prop your feet up.  Don't cross your legs or ankles.  Now try to wiggly each toe individually.  Let me know if that works for you and I'll explain why it works tomorrow!

Hope you feel better soon!
