I have tried everything from rubbing my feet to nerve creams, and even prescription medications, but nothing seemed to provide any lasting relief.
They all just temporarily masked the symptoms.
Rubbing my feet does nothing, it's just the only thing I can do when I'm lying awake at 3 AM feeling the painful tingling sensations.
Nerve creams felt cool on my skin for maybe thirty or forty minutes, but as soon as I got in bed the effects wore off and the burning came right back. I bought seven different ones. Over $400. They all had the same ingredient and none of them worked.
Medications temporarily mask the pain, but many of them don't fix the root underlying problem and come with a host of unpleasant side effects on their own such as digestive pain and a queasy stomach to dizziness and brain fog that made me feel worse than the nerve pain itself.
I was afraid that I'd feel the burning and tingling forever...
But right then and there, I swore to god that I would find a solution.
I was calling doctors, reading tons of articles on the internet and desperately searching for anything that actually worked.
And then something happened...
