As a result of Vaso-Vagus Syndrome and a professional dancing career, I have Peripheral Neuropathy of the feet. I have no pain except when and after walking. My feet are swollen on the soles and sometimes over the instep; they are also numb and have low grade 'lightning' itching and tingling. I have tried the new kinoki Japanese foot pads, but they have had no effect. Neurotin does not reduce the swelling; nor does the antidepressant Paxil or tranquilizer Ativan. I eat pretty healthy but need to cut down on sugar - however I am not diabetic. My shoe size has increased from an 81/2 narrow to 91/2 medium. This PN condition started in 1986 and doesn't seem to be improving. Any similar conditions out there? Just wish I could control the swelling - the numbness and low grade pain I can live with. Thanks in advance for any response.
