Thanks a lot for the info.

 

I am seeing the same nuerologist that put me on blood thinning meds 4 years ago after I had a mini stroke, so that's really good that I can speak to her on Monday about the article

Thank you so much for sharing this buddy.

 

No problem mate, however it may be that she considers staying on them to be beneficial for you, especially given your circumstances, however it would be good if you brought up the subject you mentioned earlier on about Celebrex and the Apolets, to see what she has to say.

I'm not diabetic, but 6 or 7 years ago I suffered from pins & needles in my feet. TBH I didn't exercise much, so I started to take a brisk 45-60 minute walk every morning before breakfast and a 90 minute bike ride after breakfast. Worked wonders for me. No more pins & needles. 

So many people fail totally to do any exercise at all. I applaud you those are some serious exercise times. Far above what normal people do.

The article in question referred to the routine use of aspirin in the general population and most definitely does not apply to someone who has a history of ischemic stroke.

I suddenly developed Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) a few years ago some weeks after a course of Norfloxacin.
The drug was given to treat a rise in PSA, even though a negative culture proved there was no real medical indication for it's use.
My existing blood work precluded diabetes.
My first course of treatment was B12 supplements.
Second was an MRI for any spinal issues although I had no back or leg pain.
My third was nerve conduction tests which proved positive for nerve damage.
As with 40% of cases of PN an official cause was never determined.
As you already have a diabetes diagnosis and as this is the likely cause you will then have a course of treatment.

It wouldn't hurt for him to discuss his current meds regime with his specialist given that it was implemented four years ago, and that's what I was meaning, given new research.

Also  prescribed 'Gabapentin' 100mg 2x a day about 3 or so years ago, helped, but for the past few weeks getting the Pins and Needles back again and not just in my feet but hands as well + often

 

Guess on my next Hospital Visit next month [also blood work] will see what the Dr has to say. Diabetic for years + for years every morning BS test is between 90 - 120  [94 yesterday and 119 this morning]  only have the blood work done 1 x a years for past 5 or 6 years as Dr says I keep it under control so no need for more testing

 

Yearly test HbA1c between 6.1 and 6.4 since a problem in 2001

Had a call from the hospital canceling my appointment  for a week   I think the doc is having to quarantine for 7 days.
