Neuropathy
Here is another story for your files; I am 46 years
old. I have been a diabetic for 25 of those years. During this time, I
have had amputations to both feet. I've also had a stroke and am on
dialysis.
I have what is called neuropathy. This is a highly painful nerve disorder.
Sometimes the pain was so severe I would wish my hands were cut off. I was
taking 2800mg of Neuroten a day plus 4 to 6 Percocet.
I also have severe hypertension and take 100 mg of Zoloft.
After two years I became so dependent on the Percocet. I was taking
sometimes more
than 10 a day.
Then I started smoking marijuana. It helped me stop taking the narcotics.
I have stopped taking Percocet and take only 400mg of the Neuroten. My
pain is gone.
When I get really hyper I take about three hits and stay calm for hours.
This dialysis really zaps your energy. But I take a few hits after
treatment, and have energy to function all day.
