It’s honestly heartbreaking how our healthcare system treats neuropathy patients.
Having witnessed first hand, how, after my mom got her diagnosis, not one neurologist tried to help her.
Well, they did “help”, raising her dose of gabapentin when she said the pain was becoming unbearable.
I watched my mom go from a happy, lovely woman.
To a shell of her former self: Forgetful, brain-fogged, always tired.
Still being ignored by the system that made her like this in the first place.
She’s the reason I started researching the condition in the first place too, and I always hoped I’d find something, anything that could help her replace those zombie drugs.
It's been like this for a while, and after extensively researching the condition during this time.
I've realised there was a way I could help her, by actually looking at the underlying problems of neuropathy.
