DIABETIC PEREFERAL NEUROPATHY PAIN.

Vitamin D Eases Diabetes Pain: Study

Vitamin D has been shown to ease pain in women with Type 2 diabetes and depression.

According to new study conducted at Loyola University Chicago and presented recently a campus research conference, a significant number of volunteers given weekly vitamin D2 supplementation (50,000 IUs) for six months reported a lessening of pain and their symptoms of depression.

At the start of the study, 61 percent of the women reported shooting or burning pain in their legs and feet (neuropathic pain) and 74 percent reported numbness and tingling in their hands, fingers, and legs (sensory pain). After three to six months of receiving the supplements, the patients reported a significant decrease in neuropathic and sensory pain.

"Pain is a common and often serious problem for women with Type 2 diabetes and depression," said lead researcher Todd Doyle, M.D., with the Loyola Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neurosciences. "While further research is needed, D2 supplementation is a promising treatment for both pain and depression in Type 2 diabetes."

Type 2 diabetes is associated with depression and pain, but no prior studies have evaluated the use of vitamin D supplementation as a treatment, Dr. Doyle said.

Researchers now plan to study how the vitamin works to ease pain and depression, using funding from the National Institutes of Health.

"Vitamin D has widespread benefits for our health and certain chronic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes," said Sue Penckofer, a study co-author and professor at the Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing.

MY PERSONAL COMMENT ON THIS. DIABETICS GENERALLY GET PEREFERAL NEUROPATHY OF FEET AND SOMETIMES OF HANDS. THE BEST COURSE
TO GET VITAMIN D IS SITTING IN THE SUN WITH AS MUCH OF BODY EXPOSED FOR MINIMUM 30 MINIUTES EVERY DAY WITH SUN GLASSES, AS ULTRA VIOLET RAYS ARE HARMFUL FOR EYES. EXERCISE IS ALSO IMPORTANT. FOR PAIN CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
I DO NOT HAVE DIABETIES BUT HAVE PEREFERAL NEUROPATHY OF THE FEET. FOR PAIN RELEIVING, I HAVE BEEN ADVISED 450MGS OF GABAPINTIN BEFORE SLEEP. I WAS ADVISED 300MGS EVERY 8 HOURS BUT I CAN BEAR THE PAIN DURING DAY TIME. I TAKE IT AT NIGHT TO GET A SOUND SLEEP. THERE IS NO CURE FOR PEREFERAL NEUROPATHY EXCEPT DO NOT WORRY OR GET DEPRESSED. LEAD A NORMAL LIFE AND KEEP SMILING. more

One of my staff suffered from herpes zoster & was advised acyclovir tablets & ointment .As we know ,it is a disease of nerves & is very painful but I simply asked him to just keep on putting gentle pressure on the painful locations & believe me ,he was cured without any medicine & kept on attending duties. more

sir,i have a different view about cause & treatment of pain.My point is that any pain is due to pressure on nerve endings.It is mostly due to accumulation of extracellular or intracellular fluid in a closed space that presses on nerve endings & one feels pain.If the fluid is removed ,pain is relieved.The fluid that accumulates is in case of diabetes is due to damage to capillary walls.Venules are unable to absorb all the fluid that has leaked as the bigger particles do not enter the venules.They are generaaly removed by lymphatics which are an opened ended system.One has to pushed the fluid in to it by gentle massage in an upward direction.So if the legs are gently massaged with a good oil there is likely hood of pain releif. More over removal of fluid increases capillary circulation & helps in healing of the damaged nerves.When the fluid is removed the capillary circulation increases due to no obstruction.One should try regular upward gentle oil massage for a certain period of time before giving up.
