• The possible explanation as to why Vitamin D ameliorates neuropathic pain is its modulating action on Voltage Gated Calcium Channels (?N channels)in Nervi Nervorum which are now thought to be crucial in upregulating neurogenic inflammation causing peripheral neuropathic pain (Zochodne,Calgary)

• I have a form of neuropathy in my right foot as a result of an outbreak of blistering & rash, a biopsy determined it's cause as being vasculitis. I was never given what caused it or if it will return., I am wondering if Vitamin D might help this problem.

  I also have a friend I used to work next to who has advanced neuropathy in her feet ...to her ankles, she has not been diagnoised with diabetes. Suppose this might help her.

• My dear friend is suffering terribly with Peripheral nerve pain in the feet due to Diabetes 2. The specialist they saw said there is a new medication, but it costs $1100 per month?? [Not on PBS] Can anyone help me in getting this medication cheaper and getting it onto the PBS Scheme?

  Thankyou.Ann.

• I have suffered from PN for the past 8 years and show no signs of diabetes or any other proven cause. Has anyone done research on vitamin D and idiopathic PN? I have also suffered with severe Estrogen imbalance since taking Provera. One year after my serious reaction to the Provera and subsequent syptoms I had a hysterectomy for adnomyosis. 14 years later I am still on Bi-est suppliments (I am now 54) Do you know of any connection / concerns / benefits , etc. with HRT and Vit D? My 25 Hydroxy D2 is <4.0 and my 25 Hydroxy D3 is 44 (from the Mayo Lab)

• This comment is for Barbara Melby. Barbara, I took Provera when I was 35 and I put on 4 stone in 9 months. It was a huge shock. I'm 50 now, and I have never been able to get back to a normal weight range. It is still a huge problem for me. Keep searching for relief, and I wish you all the best. Ann
