Smile Peripheral Neuropathy Improvement With Herbalife

I have had peripheral neuropathy in my hands and feet for almost 7 years. It has gotten increasingly worse over time and I have been to two of the best neurology hospital clinics in North Carolina with both of them telling me, yes you have it and no we don't know why. I have tried a variety of by mouth meds to try and help pain, they didn't work for me as they zoned me out and I can't sleep all the time. I also have tried various creams with some positive results, but still lots of pain particularly at night. I went to a chiropractor for over a year hoping that might help with no results. I am tired constantly and stressed - when you have chronic pain what else can you be. I stopped all caffeine for over 6 months with no results. Tired, hungry all the time and I had gained about 7 pounds. I decided to try Herbalife...to try and drop some weight... it's working already but that's not the best blessing: within 7-10 days of drinking the stuff, I noticed the pain wasn't as bad as before, I noticed I was sleeping better at night, and I noticed my energy level increasing and I'm not craving food constantly. I am able to walk across the floor in my bare feet without feeling every grain of dirt on the floor. One doctor told me he didn't think my stomach was breaking down food and absorbing nutrients as it should. This might be a fluke, but it appears to be working for me. The stuff if chocked full of vitamins and proteins - something I'm obviously not getting in my diet. Today I feel the best I have in a very long time and wanted to share this little hope with others.

Default Herbalife

Formula 1 Healthy Meal - Nutritional Shake Mix (French Vanilla) and
Protein Drink Mix (protein-based snack for energy and nutrition).

The first few days I used both mixes together, then started alternating.

There may be some stock in what the doctor says about absorbing nutrients. Especially if you have vitamin deficiencies. I am glad to hear you are doing beter. Very encouarging.

Thats really strange, I came on to start a post on the Cambridge Diet. I started taking the milkshake and soups two weeks ago and have dropped a good few pounds but have also noticed I have improved the amount of sleep and my energy levels are high( which hasn't happened for a long time with PN). I hadn't thought about getting the correct vitamins and minerals. I am like you in that I have had every test and still ideopathic.
