Feet that Tingle

[Guest guest]

For the last few years my feet tingle. Even when I am

off them. most of the day. I know this is caused by

nerve endings that have been harmed. With me I think

do to being over weight. Anything I can do to reduce

or end this pain. Am a male, hispanic and 62 years old.

Not willing to die right soon.

Have you been checked for diabetes? I have found that alpha-lipoic-acid

when taken with biotin in I think it's a 3:1 ratio, is effective in

lessening the tingling in my feet.

Hi Fred! There are many things that cause the feet to tingle; anything from

poor circulation problems . . like overweight, pre-diabetic and diabetic,

sensitivity to heat/cold/pressure, to various kinds of nerve damage. Many

things can treat these symptoms, but it's always best to try to find the

underlying cause or factor and tackle that one. I too have these problems and

these things have helped the most: good balanced nutrition for an older person,

overweight, pre-diabetic but without bloodpressure or heart complications. Lots

of cayenne pepper, I take the the capsules and also carry the extract. Lots of

good digestive enzymes, this gets the nutrition and supplements down to the

capillary level where the nerves and cells are truly fed. Hot/cold water baths

for the feet and the walking in water (in bathtub with about 3-4 inches of

water) exercise. Gentle daily massage, and very good well-fitted shoes at all

times. I also elevate the end of my bed by about 4 inches, this increases good

blood flow at night. Pepper cream on feet before bed (remember to wash hands

good, or you may rub your eyes!). Stay well hydrated. Try to remember not to

cross the legs or put undo pressure on the lower circulation system. Usually,

the rather constant tingling of feet indicates some loss of feeling in the feet,

so one must learn to take much better care of the toenails, wearing protective

footgear, because you can bruise or cut or blister them now and not even feel

it, and they do not heal as well or fast under these conditions, so care must be

taken to look them over closely often.

Do a google for supplementals addressing the circulation problems, like the B

Vitamin, the full range of E's, etc. The internet is a wonderful place to

began the learning process of taking greater responsibility for your own health

and well-being in all situations and ages and conditions! Good Luck and God

Bless! Norma

What you speak of is one of the symptoms of diabetes. It may be wise

to have a 3 or 5 hours glucose tolerance test with insulin levels done.

I am a diabetic who ignored tingling feet until I got a non-healing

hole in one foot. Besides ALA and Biotin mentioned below, I got rid

of most foot numbness and tingling with Cinnamon powder (tsp a day),

MSM (2 grams, 3 times a day). Going on a very low carb diet also

helped me a lot. I avoid all grains, breads, pasta, rice, starchy

veggies, etc. I can control blood sugar with diet and supplements

and no longer need diabetic meds.

--- Hello,

I too have this problem. I take alot of B vitiamns and it went away. As

long as I take the vitiamns it does not come back. I had went to the

doctors and they wanted to put me on nurontin (sp) but hte side effects

were not to good so I look up nerve dammage and I found someone that

took B vitiamns that said it helped them so I thought Ill try it. My

doctors does not know what caused mine.

Isnt it funny? They cant find the cause but boy can they " perscribe "

the " cure " RIGHT!!

 

I think I just need more B vitiamns!!!

 

Take care
