I was a very active 47-year-old male before I came down with neuropathy about two years. I started taking Lyrica (300mg) a day approximately six months ago to help with the pain. The pain was mostly in feet, hands, and face, sometimes during the day it would become unbearable. I would stop what I was doing and start praying.

I am 57 and have diabetic neuropathy in my feet and upper legs. My feet has gotten to the point that my big toes are getting fungus from lack of oxygen and nutrients. I have grown them out twice and now they have it again! I don't want to have that surgery that decompresses the nerves. I started taking the GLA Borage Oil and chromium complex on 6/5/08. Are you sure the specialists said that the nerves can regenerate? Mine have regressed some and when I try to flex my feet, they feel like they will break into a million pieces. I'm hoping that with sugar control and exercise, that will help them reguvenate. Do you exercise? Any other suggestions? I also take Flaxseed Oil, but no multivitamin.

Also, my podiatrist gave me a sample of a "food medicine" called "Metanx". He said it helps to reguvenate the nerves. Maybe you can view it on the internet. I will be seeing a neuropathy doctor next week. I will ask him about this medicine. With everything I take, I don't want to cross any wires. All I know is that I don't want this pain in my life. I want my feet back and to wear all of my beautiful shoes.

Thank you for your post. I hope the Borage Oil will work for me as well.
