I'm wondering if your painful feet were neuropathic, like mine. They burn, needle-like pain and some numbness' - pain rises and falls with effort (or stress).
I recently came across a credible journal article claiming Pantothenic Acid was pain relieving systemically AND particularly for 'burning' feet, especially when combined with B1, B2, and Manesiusm (L-theonate). So, I began this regimen a week ago and some relief is kicking in (or maybe placebo effect)? I also have mild FibroMyagia which it seems to be helping as well??? Did you give anything like this or related a try?
It may be helpful to original poster as well as low dose Naltrexone (LDN; see other threads for thorough discussion of ups and downs of LDN).
Hi,
@Stretched. Yes, I was worrying my feet had become neuropathic. That's about the last thing I need. However, the one acupuncture treatment got rid of all my foot symptoms (knock wood).
I had tried Pathothenic Acid, not for neuropathy, but for energy. However, even a tiny dose first thing in the morning gives me insomnia.
I take Magnesium Threonate for the cognitive benefits, but didn't know it could help neuropathy. MG Threonate is an interesting supplement. I take 2/3 of a dose because a full dose gives me insomnia, a common theme for me. But even the 2/3 dose does help my mental functioning.
I have fibro and chronic pain. I've thought about LDN, but have had such sleep difficulties in the past that I'm reluctant to try it.
