Neuropathy

The procedure described in this article is similar to what I had experienced with a chiropractor who was supposedly a neuropathy specialist after giving him thousands of dollars because our medical insurance did not recognize his treatments.  Granted, there were several therapeutic procedures used besides the one described in the article.  Some helped a bit but only temporarily and the more I was treated, the less I saw of the doctor and the less I was impressed with the technicians administrating the procedures.  Every patient was given similar treatments, no matter their neuropathy source.

I did lose about 20 pounds which would have been impossible without the supplements and anti-inflammatory dietary guidelines he provided but the pain was not affected by what I ate. I excluded inflammatory food to try to avoid food triggers and did not want my lack of control responsible for wasting all of the money I paid and not healing.  The only explanation for my nerve damage was being on a statin for way too long. Nerve damage from statins is usually permanent. The extensive blood tests  I received revealed stress playing the largest part for my condition (cortisol was elevated) and stress does seem to exacerbate my discomfort..  To be fair, before statins, I did suffer from various painful conditions, most likely undiagnosed fibromyalgia which is greatly affected by stress.

Bottomline, Women should not use statins, especially if they suffer nerve inflammations because nerve damage from statins is permanent.


ETA: I did find a product that is helping!

Secret Garden Reading

I had seen the Secret Garden with our son many years ago (front row center) and it was magical.  He had a reading with a NYC community theater group and landed Dickon and did quite well singing and speaking with an accent.
Here he sings one of my favorite tunes from the show.


one less performance on his bucket list

Chazael

I stumbled upon another pain relief product called Chazael which may be a real winner.
It went on nicely and neatly and dried quickly with no residue.
It made my feet feel much better, less burning and aching.
Knee pain disappeared completely.
The real test will be how long its effects last after an application.

ETA: no night time or morning leg and foot cramping!
Plus it stopped back pain immediately with just one application.
Definitely, the best pain med in my arsenal.

Price-wise I paid more for stuff that didn't help much.

Refit on Demand

I am in the middle of a free trial and still not sure if I will sub or not.
I do not like that they only show a limited number of the most recent live workouts, the verbal cuing including loud Whoos and Heys, and the indoor lighting.

BUT

I love the Mr.Johnson class and am enjoying their music and moves, especially the slower RevFlow.  I'll just skip the instructors who love to shout annoying noises and see how I feel  by the end of the trial.
One phone app (Tibio) enables their casting to ROKU nicely.


There are two ways to get free month trial codes on Refit on Demand.
