Hi, I am Crystal been a diabetes since November 18, 1988. I was only 13 years old. I currently 35 years old and diabetics has help me to faces dilemma in my life. But, also give me grief that I do not wish on no men or women in this world. Neuropathy has been involved in my left since September 1996. “DAMAGE TO BOTH OF MY LEGS FROM PELVIS TO THE TIP OF MY TOES, OVER 100’S NERVES ENDING DAMAGE.“ . I woken from my sleep on my way to school, I thought my legs was with me in my mind , but they did not responded. I try to do everything to be able to move. I was carried to hospital in Chicago IL , where they told me that I had Neuropathy damage in my nerves system. My first response to the Doctor was “ WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO CURE IT ? “ I was told that I can not cure it due to fact the nerves are damage. As, time moved on I was diagnosis with Neuropathy in both of my arms. “ DAMAGE TO BOTH OF MY ARMS FROM WRIST JOINT TO UPPER ORIGINS OF SHOULDERS:“. The year of SEPTEMBER 2004 . I was at a lowest point in my life , I cried because of able not understanding why I had did I have to deal with the chronic pains, I was having with diabetes . I was angered with pain and fear of not knowing what should I do to help myself .To be able to deal with the pain I was suffering with . These day’s, was day I would never fought. I deal with the chronic pains that comes from having Neuropathy with faith in the Lord, first of all then I processed in trying to keep asking question about the stages that my diabetes has token me too. The next thing I do is cry because the pains are sneak it pop up in your head. Like a nightmare , different parts of my body parts hurt at redeem times. Example : Such my shoulder will begin to hurt then my right angle then my knees all at the same time. I found out the use of pillows to place under the spot that hurt help, the numbness is something totally different. You have to move the origin of the pain and keep moving it though out the whole time period of the pain, and a lot of covers with warmth. But , remember the use of “HEATING PAD CAN BURN THE SKIN” So I advise a ordinaly house whole dryer to warm the blankets and loving person to keep warming them up and applying them to the origin of pain help much so , but do not relived fast but in time it do help. The problem is that is happen to you are something out of your control . So you must be able to face the fact that you are not able to control it to be able to deal with “NEUROPATHY DAMAGE OF ANY KIND”. The pain that we deal with is a mind game in many factors.

dear friends
i don't really remember, but perhaps since 6,7 years, my feet up to ankle become very cold in winter time, though i know that in this time all feel cold, but i cannot sleep untill i make my feet very warm, so for this i make fire and use heater, then i can sleep, i have doubt if this is the reason of having and occured diabetes, and sometime i feel very heat and then i have to wash my feet by water,
is there someone who is having and facing similar problem and trouble at winter time, please write and share me.
in nepal winter start from mid October and last till january.

wish all of you best and nice time

kind regards

I have had the sypthoms of Peripheral neuropathy for many years I was told 5 months ago I was a type 2 diabetic. I have had heart disease for 13 yrs now and no one bothered to check to see if I had a sugar problem.The pain in my feet and legs gets really bad sometimes.

I bought a pair of Clark flip flops at Macy's a couple months ago for about $40. Not cheap by far especially for flip flops but with the foot pain I have, I would have paid $100 for good shoes. I have worn these every single day (except ONE day) since I bought them. They are the ONLY shoes that I have found so far that I can wear and still manage to be "normal". I wear size 11 shoes so it's hard for me to find anything in my size that fits good AND is comfortable.

Great. I have a new nerve damage... GASTROPARESIS. It's damage to my vagas nerve and it controls my stomach. I have delayed emptying of my stomach. I stay full all the time. I now take 2 teaspoons of a med called Reglan before meals and at bedtime. It finally seems to be working since my dosage has doubled and I've cut down to 5 small 250/300 cal meals per day. Still full, mind you. Just not so uncomfortable and not vomitting 2 hours after meals. The nausea is also fading. Thank goodness. Ahhh, diabetes... gotta love it!

Cory:

I am like that, too. For a whle, though, I bought Rockport shoes and they were the ONLY ones comfortable enough to wear. They aren't cheap, though. Try it, you might like it. They are sold in shoe stores mostly in malls.
