I can't stress this enough: YOU NEED TO GET NEW DOCTORS, RIGHT NOW.

If your husband is diabetic and his doctors don't know what's causing his neuropathy, they simply aren't competent, PERIOD. Diabetic neuropathy is progressively degenerative and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. More than half of diabetics develop it. It isn't rare and his doctors should have known right away.

make sure you’re not taking it in the form of oxide. It doesn’t really absorb and causes diarrhea in the higher doses. Just a quick lesson; calcium is what constricts your muscles and magnesium is what loosens them. Almost all of us do not get enough mag and so you see the twitching, soreness, tightness, restless leg, fibromyalgia (I could go on and on). All of these are caused directly by mag deficiency. Let me know if you want more guidance.

My husbands doctors all of them, are top docs in the Houston Medical Center, they can't ALL be incompetent. He has (slightly) weak kidney function, the reason for the swelling. Diuretics aren't helping much.

I’ll take a LLD over a Lyme denial doc any day. The history of spirochetal diseases demonstrates these disease require far more then the three week antibiotic “cure”. Unfortunately this remains a very controversial disease that hurts many but the truth will prevail and some infectious disease docs will look more foolish then they do now. Hence the block head fight IMHO.
The movie UNDER MY SKIN addresses this and is powerful if not a frightening tear jerker.

its surprisingly easy

throw away everything you got- or give it to charity food bank

then go buy RICE (there are lots of nice different kinds) and honey instead of sugar, and dried mushrooms and a freezer to keep fresh meats

Every meal can be meat and rice and you will lose weight and feel a million times better

You can have eggs for breakfast with bacon every morning, forget about tracking cholesteral if you eat the way i described above.

its hard to live without bread and pasta- but eggplant paremesan with risoto will make you forget all about spaghetti

gluten free diet

no bread
