A Pain I Was Never Expecting At 65 Suddenly Hit Me

Below is a description of an affliction that has recently hit me (sent to a friend). Usually you get pain in your back or upper parts of your body or perhaps in your legs when you get old. But to get it principally in my extremities was completely unexpected. Since writing it I read that it affects 7 to 10 percent of the population to varying degrees. Updating about what I am taking. Using that method, the nerves take time to re-grow so it can take three to six months or longer to show a real improvement. But, if it works out. It is a fix and not just blocking the pain.

Thought you might be interested to read it as it's another one of those possible things to look forward to as you get into your evening years. Lol.


"I have Neuropathy in my feet and some times feel it in my hands. That is, dying nerve endings. It causes all sorts of darting pains but the worst is when it feels like your first couple of toes are wrapped in a solidified bandage under the skin, applying pressure and pain. It flared up in my feet simultaneously. This is an ailment that often comes with age and if your quite tall it can be more common. A chemical created in the upper part of your body is made to replenish nerves and the journey to your feet takes 3 years, obviously an ongoing thing. But, it can pack up working. I can still walk by the way.

There is no traditional medical profession cure for it. You can get specific pain killers that:

1) Do not always work
2) Have side effects
3) Can be addictive.
4) You would need to keep taking it.


Whatever causes it and diabetes is another one. I 100 percent know I have not got that. Whatever causes it, the pain killer treatment is the same.

Now here's perhaps a coincidence?. Shortly after taking the first Covid Vaccine I started to feel strange sensations in my toes, like the nails were too long and they were rubbing against other. My symptoms for the vaccine was just body aches and pains. But, also little stinging pins and needles in feet and hands for a short while. This happened again more pronounced after the second shot, double the amount, it went away. But this feet thing suddenly hit me several months later.

Now, I will try to find it again but I read a well put together article detailing the most common side effects of the vaccine, and yes, people have had them though still a far less of a risk. These are shooting pains in your extremities and heart palpitations. So, guess what, my friend, who has the most cast iron disposition I have ever seen has been having mild heart palpitations since taking the vaccine, but they are lessening she said, and the net says they will fade. Between us, we have one each. So would I have take the vaccine knowing this, most likely as Covid was far worst a prospect. But seeing that it is dying down, I don't feel very inclined on any boosters. You know that vaccines are usually trialed for 14 years before being released to the public. I'm not anti vax, just pointing a few things out.

So I looked around for alternative medication and quite a few doctors endorse supplements that contain both vitamin D and A derivatives together with ALA acid. I found one that has all that and a total of 18 ingredients including a few natural flower and herb stuff as well, for neuropathy. Mainly the Vitamins have been shown to replenish the nerve endings and the plant extracts are just soothers. Of course, you have to keep on taking them, but no side effects or addiction etc.

Anyway, used it for a month, towards the end my feet were feeling a little better, but was going to get some more and Amazon had run out so bought something similar which had less ingredients in. Not so good, pain came back. Now got three months supply from the source company. Been back on them a few days.

I don't want to be addicted to any drug or suffer side effects so I'm going to give it a go for a while. All they offer is pain killers, so at best, a semblance of comfort. This hopefully will do the same thing and I will be healthier for taking the vitamins in that way anyway. Will see.

You know, of all the afflictions I could have had, why does it have to be my feet. I could take back pains or other pains better."
