Need to know WHERE to the "Solaray" Tumeric Special Formula. Seems like I can at last get a bit of relief!!!!
Thanks for any help!!!! Don

I second the Turmeric/neck pain nerve pain.

Slipped and fell and hurt neck few years ago, only thing that helped was Swanson Vitamins "Mobility Essentials" which had turmeric, bromelain in it.

It was really amazing, such a deep and long lived pain and this was the only thing that did anything.

would this relieve PHN?

PEOPLE'S PHARMACY RESPONSE: WE DON'T KNOW IF IT HELPS POST-HERPETIC NEURALGIA. THAT CONDITION IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TREAT.

The most discouraging part of finding a possible cure worth trying is being unable to find the product recommended. The Solaray Turmeric Special Formula is no exception. Do you think the availability could be checked before the recommendation makes it to print?

My husband is a WWII veteran and after serving in the battle of the bulge in Bastogne, Belgium he suffered frozen feet. And as he gets older, it seems to be getting worse and worse. The doctors told him there was nothing they could do for the pain of frozen feet. They say he suffered nerve damage up to his ankles. So I am wondering if the tumeric used for nerve pain in her neck would also be helpful for nerve pain suffered from frozen feet. Or am wondering if you have had any other questions or comments for other people about this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Will turmeric extract help or does it have to be with the other ingredients. Also will it help with carpel tunnel syndrome???

For post herpetic nerve pain ( can be from shingles) i used 1000 mg. of the amino acid Lysine. On an empty stomach three times a day. And if the pain returns, avoid nuts and chocolate and, of course, peanuts, which aggravate it.

Tumeric is also found in yellow mustard. One might try that. I take a tsp at night to help with restless legs. The Solaray vitamins can be found by doing a Google search.

Found & ordered the Solaray Turmeric Special Formula on line, cheapest price I found was from My Vita Net 1-800-807-8080 $12.29 for 60 caps. Can't wait to see if it helps my nerve pain!!

I went to GNC after reading the article about taking turmeric for nerve inflammation and they had two products: Joint Formula ( which contains turmeric and boswellia ) and Bromelain. I now take these for trigeminal neuralgia along with gabapentin and my symptoms are in remission.

Turmeric can be eaten from the spice rack if one puts it in tomato juice to disguise the strong taste. My husband and I have it every night at the end of our supper because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

My daughter has suffered from central pain syndrome following a very massive stroke 3 years ago. Her whole left side was affected and continues to cause her intermittent very strong pain. The MD claims it is from the stroke and there is no relief from it other than seizure medication. Do you think turmeric help her? Does any one else suffer from this after effect ??

My mother has suffered with Trigeminal Neuralgia for 16 years, would this be something suitable for her nerve pain?

In Feb. I had a pinched nerve going from my spine down my right arm to my hand. It was so bad I couldn't sleep lying down. Then I heard a very good veterinarian stating that he gave lecithin to a dog with a nerve problem in his back.

I immediately started taking it, and about 6-7 weeks later realized I could lie down normally. About
a week later I called him on the radio to thank him. He said that it calms irritated nerves, and works so frequently that he tries it often. -- It worked on me!

Are there any side effects from taking Solaray Turmeric Special Formula?

Thank you for your comments and the article. I have had horrible neck pain for 2 years. Two MRI's and several doctors, pain pills. Nothing has worked. I'm very anxious to try these out. THANK YOU!
