HI, MY NAME IS SHIRLEY HERSON AND I LIVE IN ITHACA, NEW YORK WITH MY DEAR HUSBAND, JIM. I AM A DIABETIC.

THREE YEARS AGO, I NOTICED ONE TOE ON THE RIGHT FOOT WAS NUMB. SO WHEN I WENT TO THE DR. SHE SAID I WAS GETTING THE BEGINNING OF NEUROPATHY. TODAY OVER THREE YEARS NOW, BOTH FEET, ALL THE TOES AND THE AREA UNDER THE TOES ARE NUMB.

THESE FEET, THOUGH THEY ARE NUMB, ARE SO PAINFUL AND SOMETIMES BURN SO BADLY. I TAKE NEURONTIN. YESTERDAY IT WAS INCREASED TO TWO AT DINNER TIME. I HAVE THE MOST PAIN IN THE EVENING. SO THAT DID HELP ME LAST EVENING.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, I HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMBNESS IN THE RIGHT THIGH AREA GOING DOWN TO THE KNEE. THIS COMES AND GOES, IS NOT CONSTANT. I WAS DUE TO HAVE A EMG TEST. I HAVE HEARD WHAT AN AWFUL TEST IT WAS, SO CANCELED OUT OF IT. TOO SCARED. IF ANY ONE HAS HAD THIS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT IS ALL THAT BAD.

I ALSO HAVE GASTROPARESIS, NERVE DAMAGE OF THE STOMACH. THE FOOD DOES NOT CHURN OUT OF THE STOMACH AND GIVES ONE GREAT PAIN. THE DR. SAID THIS WAS ALSO CAUSED BY THE NEUROPATHY.

SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PN IS ALREADY CAUSING ITS SHARE OF PROBLEMS FOR ME.

THIS IS MY STORY. I WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO TRY THE NONI JUICE THAT WINSTON SPEAKS SO HIGHLY OF. I WILL GET SOME NEXT WEEK AND PRAY THAT I HAVE THE SAME RESULTS AS WIN DID.

THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING.
