Neuropathy pills: How to avoid scams?

I am new to this forum although I have been suffering with peripheral neuropathy for 2 years (none diabetic). Like most sufferers I have searched endlessly to find supplements that provide some relief and a possible cure. My search has proved how impossible this quest is and so expensive due to misleading adverts and down right scams.What would be really helpful if members posted their experiences with supplements they’ve tried , which were useless/helpful or obvious scams. I am sure there must be some helpful supplements out there and we would all benefit if these were posted on this forum.

I tried Frankincense & Myrrh for 3 months and it didn't make a difference.

Has anybody watched the Devinci method to cure neuropathy?The video follows the same format as all the other scams so I am immediately sceptical.There product is called Nervo Vive. Has anyone tried this and found it works?It’s all to do with the hole at the base of the skull which the nerves must pass through to access the brain.

Thank you John for this list.
So far, I have dropped one 900mg dose of Gabapentin (now at 1800mg). I take 3 Dynamic Nerve supplements one time a day. Now on day 13 and don't feel worse. So, I will continue on this way for a bit. I have six months of Dynamic Nerve. Cross your fingers!

Cheers, Jill

Has anyone tried the Orthoback Vibrastone?It is a hand held device which vibrates and heats when applied to the area of neuropathic pain, feet for example. It’s on the internet with an explanation of how it works.

I have tried everything from creams, supplements R-Alpha Lipoic Acid to EMS foot massager. I am a type 2 diabetic. I took Metformin for 20 years. It seems to be the cause of my neuropathy. It striped away the B12 that supports the nerves. Things that get me through the never ending pain flare ups in my feet is daily EMS helps, Aspercreme with Lidocaine, and keeping my legs and feet moisturized. I use the diabetic lotions. I no longer take Metformin if you are diabetic get off it now. There are newer drugs that won’t have the side effects. The loss of B12 is the main reason our nerves are no long working. It is so hard to rejuvenate the B12 in supplements. Most supplements use synthetic B12 as their ingredient. So if you know of anything that is almost a sure cure for this expensive and almost endless struggle please pass it my way. I continue to exercise and keep praying for a cure. Save your money all advertisers are SCAMs. Restore B12 don’t know how get your life back.

How much Alpha Lipoic Acid do you take and does it upset your stomach

Re - Statins. I have been subscribed statins for several years with no noticeable side effects. August ‘23, I noticed tingling in my right foot. Over the year this progressed to both feet. My toe joints became sore and swollen, the tingling progressed up both legs and was more pronounced in my right leg. Next came pains in both legs and feelings of ‘compression’ particularly in my calfs. Next came pain in my right hip. This was followed by pain in the groin where mesh had been used to repair a hernia.
I am quite a healthy, fit and active 79 year old male and I began to think it this continues, I will be crippled.
My doctor was puzzled. After the consultation, I went home and had a good think. Knowing that leg pains could be a side effect of statins, I decided to not take them and see if they might be the problem or part of the problem. Over the next few days my symptoms gradually disappeared. Now, a month and a half later, I have barely a pain. The swelling in my toes has disappeared, the tingling and leg, hip and groin pain is minimal. It looks like the statins were the cause. It seems that a small proportion of statin users might be reactive to this very helpful, life saving drug. What to do now? I may have to try and control cholesterol by diet… a bit of a dilemma.

I have severe PN. Walking any distance is very problematic. Sitting is painful. I have tried some at-home exercises, but they only ramp up my pain. Does anyone out in Mayoland know if there are physical therapists who are able to treat patients with my affliction? Would like to be able to do SOMETHING.
Thanks to all. Have a blessed day!

One of the biggest scams that I have seen is chiropractic clinics advertising being able to reverse neuropathy . They bring you in cheap . They then runs their voodoo tests . They then show you a plan to help you . They then hit you up for several thousand dollars . I had this happen to me . I went to Dakota clinic of Chiropractic . When I balked at the price . The female staff said and I quote " It is your feet that are going to get amputated . A real class act . Stay away from that clinic. Also beware when you see the ads running for this type of help .

I am currently receiving Scrambler therapy, having completed 3 sessions of a 10 session regimen. Although still in the early stages of treatment, I am experiencing some increased feeling in my feet. I am hopeful that the full treatment will provide some level of relief.
