Hey guys, I started the Wahls Protocol in July 2024 which has ended my neuropathic pain I had for 7 years. However, i’m still struggling with my mobility. More specifically, left side, foot drop, heavy arm, heavy leg, hand. Anyone has any advice?

Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for pain?

It means I can’t wear...

Numbness with a side of pain

It sounds so weird and when I try to explain it to some people, they just look at me confused. To touch, my right leg feels numb and walking on it just feels weird but the pain and burning sensation that is going through my whole leg is just horrible.

Diagnosis finally comfirmed

After 18 long years, being diagnosed at 16, then having the diagnoses changed at 20, then reconfirmed as MS last week I am now starting to look at my symptoms for what they are rather than me just struggling with life. I was put on Duloxetine 60mg daily a few months ago as a neuropathic pain kille...

Short term neuro pain relief?

Are there drugs you can start taking when a phase of neuropathic pain arrives and stop taking when the phase has passed, or are they all long-term? As I understand it, gabapentin and pregabalin are both long-term ones, taking weeks to be effective in the first place and then having to be taken for m...
