Took my first ALA yesterday. I'll let you know how it goes. I also tried to eat healthy with a bit of a downfall late in the afternoon but much better than usual. I did notice my feet were not freezing or burning and I could keep a sheet over them in bed last night. Might have been just a good night. Whatever it was, I'll take it.

epsom salt works well. You can also add essential oil from cayenne pepper to foot water or lotion. Eat foods that are red: berries, beets, potatoes pears, grapes, lentils, kidney beans (be careful w/ amt of carbs eaten) , etc. For full effect you must consume skin of foods.

I get numbness in my hands and feet. I cannot take one more drug, already on 14 (not exagerating) so I just deal with it. The one suggestion I have is that when I shower I put the plug in drain so that the water level comes up and gives my feet a good soaking. Sometimes I put epsom salt in the water to help more. No cure for neuropathy bu great for feet.

I have also just been diagnosed and told that I should take Lyrica. Seems to be a common drug of choice. I was on it for shoulder pain and it is rather soporiphic - felt like a zombie on 75mg - but they are going to reduce it to 50mg tomorrow. Will let you know how it goes.

I had a left frozen shoulder in late 1990's for over 2 years. It was resolved from April to June of 2000 with 14 intravenous drips of chelation therapy. That surprised me because I was doing chelation just as a preventive measure against heart disease that I expected would be developing as a diabetic although I had no symptoms.
In 2008 the other right shoulder became frozen too, gradually, and I attribute it to, both times, a period of eating plain yogurt daily that I had previously given up. So, I knew, in 2008, that the chelation would work, so I invested in 14 more treatments and totally solved it as well. It had been difficult to dress properly, as it was stiff and painful to move. The range of motion was terrible. I could not reach behind my back to hook on a bra, but now I am back to normal. Since chelation can be done every other day and has the benefit of also reducing blood pressure in some people, plus other things, you could do 14 treatments of the large bag size, like I did, reasonably quickly, in just over a month.
Go to www.acam.org the American College for Advancement in Medicine that does the training and qualification of practitioners who are already fully qualified doctors who just choose to add the therapy to what they offer patients.
There is currently a long term study underway that I have known about since before it started, that is funded by the NIH and will be published in 2012 in terms of the effect on heart disease of reducing heart disease risk. Since I already know it works, I look forward to see the results of the long-term double blind study, which required that all participants be already a person who has had a documented heart attack and be 50 or older and not be a smoker.
Diabetics are prone to heart disease, so doing the 14 treatments will help both loosen up the frozen shoulder and also reduce your heart disease risk. I’ve done a total of 35 treatments from 2000 to 2005 plus the 14 in 2008.

I meant to type soft hand glove

Thank you for the suggestions. I will try the exercise and check out the soy gloves. I've also ordered some extra memory foam for my bed. Trying to see what works. Does anyone have dizziness? Not the room spinning, but pressure in head and nausea.

Pain in the shoulder might be frozen shoulder. Aqua therapy will help along with a pulley that hooks over any door way. The pulley is a rope with a wooden bar on both ends, As you sit in a chair you pull up slowly and hold position for two secs. Rotate action with both limbs. As for the hand pan, wear soy gloves that hold wrists in place during sleep or when typing. Last, sleep with elevated pillows. I hope this helps. I'll e-mail the link to where I bought the pulley. My orthopedic surgeon advised ,on all these tips. The pain is not as severed since I followed orders.
