Rarely do I write articles myself on here but due to the significance of my accidental discovery a couple of years ago and the subsequent limited research I did, I thought it's time I shared.
I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy many years ago and take various painkillers to reduce the pain/burning feeling that come with my arthritis and the PN. Possibly linked; when I was younger, (in my teens, twenties and thirties), I used to love a drink; drinking quite a bit of alcohol on a fairly regular basis and I believe this contributed to the nerve damage in the form/onset of alcohol neuropathy.Nowadays, whilst I only drink a fraction of what I used to, and typically, just on Friday evenings, I get particularly painful feet the following day; I realise I could give up alcohol completely but I still enjoy a drink and have no intentions whatsoever of doing so.
Enough of me whining, to cut a long story short, if you have PN or anything that sounds remotely similar, don't suffer in silence, instead, eat chocolate. I find darker, better quality chocolate to be more effective; I promise I'm not advertising or benefitting from saying this, but chocolate like the stuff made by Monty Bojangles seems to work best for me. It will reduce the pain - trust me; what's the worst thing that could happen experimenting? More like this (pain) - link - more like this (chocolate) - link
