Problems with nerve damage
I've had the harsh sharp tingly feeling in one of my feet for the past couple of months. I know that this kind of nerve damage comes from the disease. I am taking Gabapentin for the nerve pain because lyrica really didn't do much. One doctor says the nerve damage will completely heal, another says it won't. I want to know if there is anyone else with the same thing and if it has healed up for anyone. Also, has anyone found a way to cope with acne while on prednisone?
Magnesium for cramps worked for me
Hi Lisa, I had strange cramps which weren't so painful but what happened was that my feet and hands would just pain just a bit and then slowly draw themselves up. I could see it happening. I would then just have to push them out straight again. It was more of a contracture than a cramp. I decided to take magnesium for it, my rheumy said that was OK. It seems to have fixed it. Now I take a calcium tablet which has magnesium in it so I don't take magnesium separately. Hope this helps. Sanje told me to take the magnesium away from the other medications tho as they ..I think she said ... will ablsorb other medications and render them ineffective. Hope this helps you. Regards Carol
