sorry to hear it......are you battling cancer?? I hope things are turning out well for you....thats the most important thing to concentrate on now. Just getting better and stabilizing your health.Im guesiing your body has taken a terrible beating and it will be months before you begin to feel OK again, I hope you have a good support system and dont have to work.
As far as neurapathy is concerned theres tons of reasons to get it and Im not familiar with your variety but more than likly its going to be a tough thing to fix.Because all neurapthies are.A lot of us take gabapentun for the pain and it works well for some people but can make you tired so I think your doc is the best person to tell you what to take. I think its entirely normal for you to feel as exhausted and down as you do, its time to really take good care of youself{or have someone do it for you}
In the months to come you might want to try supplements to help grow back the damaged nerve endings, there have been some people who have had some sucess with that, and as most supplements are cheap and over the counter it doesnt hurt to try.{Tumeric, Vitamin B complex, alpha lipoic acid,fish oil}Theres no magic bullet, I'm afraid, just eating well, resting a lot, excercising when you can and celebrationg every tiny milestone you acheive and knowing if you got This far today, you can get a bit farther tomorrow. Good Luck!!!
