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.

guess I'll weigh in...My non diabetic neuropathy probably stems from alcohol abuse. And abuse it I did, after the large and small cell tests, it was determined mine was small and a regimen of gaba was instituted. 800 mg 3x day, eventually switched me to duloxetine 60 mg 2x day and pregabalin 200mg 3x day and my regular NP suggested folinic plus vitamin. B complex with the duloxetine. so I take 1 dulox and 1 folinic every morning and it lasts till about 3 or 4 pm it seems. then it's another dulox and anywhere from 1 to 3 of my pregabs. anyway, no cure and I constantly hear the ads from chiropractors about how they can help.....best of luck to all

I know well this burning/freezing sensation. My doctor started me on Gabapentin (300mg) and iron supplements. Better but still a major issue . They I read about NA R-Alpha Lipoic Acid then discussed it with my Doctor, we agreed it was worth a try. After 2 months it’s amazing. Sleeping all night, no more burning/freezing in bed. The neuropathy is still there. My feet start the burning after a long drive, so I take my shoes and socks off. My diet is WHOLE FOODS. I hope this helps, Mike

I have just listened to a very, very long advert for “Nerve Freedom” capsules
Is this just another scam product. Anyone out there tried it?
I’ve already got a cupboard full of pills that have proved to be a waste of time.

I am glad that it is helping if only somewhat. What continues to worry me is that you must have researched it on your own and had to mention it to your doctor. Was it by any chance a neurologist or just a GP? Susan

I had breast cancer many years ago and a short time later my feet started to tingle. Eventually my feet got worse and then my hematologist said the neuropathy was caused from one of the chemotherapy used for my breast cancer. You can’t win!

I find lifestyle change makes the biggest difference apart from meds.
Healthy diet. ZERO sugar including honey, artificial sweeteners, nothing. I found major improvements.
Careful on salt too. Eat anti inflammatory.

I wasn’t able to wear socks on my left foot for a few years, until I found out that these gel socks prevents most of the pain and I can now wear shoes and socks at work. None of my neurologists have heard of this solution, so I pass it on and hope it’ll help some of you.

I have the Abbot electric impulse device implanted in my back and can find no improvement. Nothing I have tried helps. My doctors have prescribed everything. Jeff

I am guessing that "Mama Bear Oasis (Magnesium Body Butter" ), advertised for neuropathy relief, is yet another magic solution that doesn't work. Has anyone tried this for an extended period with improvement noted?

I have neuropathy in fingers. This morning I saw a on line advertisement about a product called Nerve Forte.
Does it really work?

If its out there I tried it. I have severe neuropathy from chemo drugs. Most things from accupuncture, chiro, herbals, lotions, etc... nothing relieved; however I am on Gabapentin and Duloxetine. I notice that if I miss a dose that pain is MUCH higher and if I take it before bed, I can actually sleep through the night.
