Food Change T-35 Days

In my initial exam by the Doctor, he tells me my blood tests look great, and that I have been accepted into the program. He then tells me that when week 1 begins, to basically cut my medications in half. I am taking a few things currently along with vitamins, TF and Allergy meds. They are: 1 pill of Bumetanide/AM for water and swelling, 2 pills/AM of Allopurinol for Gout prevention, 1 pill Atenolol/AM for my heartbeat to remain normal, 2 pills Indomethacin/PM for knees and Gout, 2 pills Gabepentine 1/AM & 1/PM for nerve pain in my feet and legs. Oh yeah.. my feet and legs always feel numb now other than nerve pain. This happened 1.5 years ago now. Even stepping on sand is painful. After extreme shock tests, that I did not feel, I have been told by the neurologist that my nerves are shot in my feet, and is worsening as it will travel up my legs. Ahh the life of being ME. Looks like I waited too long to fix myself. Some one once read me the meaning of my name… and it stated “There is always something wrong with a Kurt.” HA! I can vouch for that!
