8 years ago I was diagnosed as diabetic and concurrent with that there surfaced a numbness in my feet. Since then my feet have never pained me but I am always aware of the numbness which increases and decreases from time to time throughout the day. My blood sugar is fairly well maintained at this time but I am concerned that sometime in the future my feet will get worse and I will have to undergo some sort of treatment which might cause me to be a cripple the rest of my life!

I'm 20 years old and am suffering from peripheral neuropathy. I finally went to an internal medicine doctor because my my numbness and sensitiviy were getting worse. He has ran many blood tests (auto immune, iron levels, vitamin levels, blood cell counts, blood sugar etc) to find what is causing it but nothing has turned up abnormal. Other than this I am completely healthy and would prefer to go to alternative medicine for treatment than waste more money and not finding answers.
I wanted some opinions/experiences people have had seeing an Ayurveda doctor. It would be especially helpful if someone with peripherial neuropathy has been to one too! Thankyou! Or if you have any suggestions on where I should go from there, they are welcomed too.
* I'm not really looking for religious answers about finding God.. this is about alternative medicine, not christianity.

i am a diabetic but this is not the reason for my neuropathy --my blood sugar is under control--it is also in my hands as well as my feet
