NEUROPATHY PATCH

Peanutjake said:

Some time ago I reported to this newsgroup a discovery I
had made.

Out of desperation with the Neuropathy pain in my feet I
tried a Lidocaine patch on my foot. It gave me great relief
and allowed me to sleep the whole night through. The patch
I used was Lidoderm 5%.

I reported my experiment to my Neurologist. She then
reported my finding to the manufacturer of the patch.

Here is a report on a study just completed on the use of
the Lidocaine patch on 56 patients.

But you heard about it here first!

And No, I have no connection with the manufacturer or
anyone selling this patch which is available by
prescription.

I prefer narcotic intervention as a last resort only.

even with as small a dose as this.

In tribute to the United States of America and the State of
Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with
strife and terrorism.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
President, or that we are to stand by the President
right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile,
but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Have you heard of the NO-CARB Diet for 2004?

Unfortunately, pain killers only work on some cases of
neuropathy. Some form of pain killers have been in use for
at least 30 years.The only thing that worked for me was
control of blood sugars. Even that took time. The
pain/burning is the warning of nerve damage. The odds are
that your problems will increase. It may be the sensations
you have means the nerves are not dead yet. If you worked
at it, the problem can be reversed. I was able to do that.
But if I abuse food input and let the blood sugars rise I
will be very uncomfortable. Pain killers only mask the
problem. Guy

Lidocaine is a Local Anesthetic not a Narcotic.

My blood sugars are in control. My pain was not, until I
discovered that a Lidocaine patch made life bearable again.
