Unhappy hubby
🧐 Recommendations Wanted 🤔
Pedes, I need some help. Hubs has severe peripheral neuropathy of feet. Has had for years, probably decades. Two days ago he stepped on hot asphalt barefooted and didn’t even realize he had second degree burns. Not until I noticed a sticky trail on my hardwood floors with blood in it. I’m treating with horse paste and bandages. I need some advice about some great patriotic movies to keep him settled once I have him sofa bound. Thanks!
Life Extension's Protocol page for diabetic neuropathy is worth reading. It includes a number of treatment modalities and supplements that slow or prevent the development of neuropathy (such as Alpha- or R-Lipoic acid) and which can reduce the associated pain.
As for burns, topically applied vitamin E is excellent at stopping the pain of a fresh burn (as when you touch a hot stove accidentally); I usually run the burn under cold water or apply an ice cube for 20 - 30 seconds, dry it off, and then pierce a capsule of vitamin with a knife tip (or use a bottle of vitamin e) and smear the E on the burn. Pain stops almost instantly in my experience and blisters don't form; healing is also accelerated.
