Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have a patient who I'm advising who has been a long time sufferer from Lyme's disease. She has multiple symptoms the worse being peripheral neuropathy, with burning pain of teeth, arms, and legs. Numbness of the left foot, poor sleep habits. No thirst, she's cold sensitive and has low thyroid. I'm advising her from a distance so I have not been able to personally assess pulse and tongue and appearance. I've given her and she has done a very aggressive herbal protocol focusing on blood moving herbs and qi tonics and of course, sleep. Peripheral neuropathy has always proven a difficult problem for me to treat either with acupuncture or herbs - I think either because there is something that I'm missing or because as I suspect if nerve damage is too far progressed, it is impossible to ameliorate it. So I'd be interested in hearing of any of your personal views, experiences, approaches in treating this condition. Michael Tierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
