Can nerves/bad neuropathy heal?

Eric H. said...
I have horrible neuropathy going on two years. Has never let up. Twitching, numbness, weakness, tingling etc. From my head to my toes. My legs are the worst. Arms right behind but I get small breaks here and there at times. I'm clinically diagnosed for Lyme and Co and 9 months in on treatment with not much change. Just looking for some hope.

I had twitching and neuropathy - and weakness.

It is all gone except one finger on my left hand is a bit numb… but it doesn’t really affect me.
Now and then I get some stiffness and low level pain around the left scapula.
My husband massages it and it feels better.

So YES there is hope!!

I understand your concerns. I was in your shoes, past tense,…” was”.

Who knows how many types of tick infections I had from childhood until my mid 40s when I was finally treated with six different antibiotics often on for 14 months.

At the end of that 14 months, my body felt quite beat up.

Antibiotics is very hard on you especially taking six of them - a little bit different approach than what I’ve seen, A little more aggressive. With a lot of liver testing in between.

I did some other things too, and a few herbs. I could go on and on and on.

Back to your initial question:

My nerves and the tingling only improved a little bit Once I stopped antibiotics. Six months after that, a lot of changes going on throughout my body. My LLMD had done this enough times that he almost accurately created a timeline as to what would happen.

The carpal tunnel in my wrists went away first in about six months. I would occasionally still get tingling throughout my whole body a couple days a week for the next four years, Then it stopped. Then 6 years later, the neuropathy in my feet went away.

Even though Ive had some Slightly high blood glucose the last 10 months,it did not affect the feeling in my feet at all. So I now know that the tingling in my feet was not from glucose. It was from tick infections of the past.

Your good days will be mixed with bad days, but I’m guessing and hoping that you will see improvements and keep in mind -It takes a while. It’s hard to wait forever, but that’s just the way it is.

By the way, my brain was pretty much temporarily fried from these infections as well. I had a one and 1/2 day long lyme brain test from a regional mental health professional. Hes now retired. I was diagnosed with “lyme brain” however it is a much more technical longer name than what I call it lol. I’m guessing these Specifically trained mental health professionals are very rare and probably only found in North Central and Northeast areas Of the US.

(Who knows most about nerves here than anybody else is probably “DCD”. I’m not sure he completely Figured it out yet, but he has tried everything just about. And it may or may have not been from ticks, I’m not sure he ever figured that out.)
