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.

Yesterday, I ate a piece of very sweet key lime pie & within minutes my feet were in agony & I could barely walk. My wife suggested I drink a lot of water so I drank 2 liters in the early afternoon & another liter in the early evening plus a 1/2 liter of Perrier with dinner. After dinner I was relieved of almost all of the discomfort, still a bit numb of course, but not bad. I woke up this morning & my feet feel better still.
There’s a lesson here for all of us - stay hydrated!
FDA PPROVES JOURNAVX AS OF MARCH 2025 NON OPOID PAIN MEDICINE FIRST NON OPOID PAIN MEDICINE IN YEARS
I have had ideopathic neuropathy for over 30 years. Pain is minimal and occasional, therefore pain relief is not my issue. However tingling and balance is a major issue. I wear support hose and have found Frankinsence amd Myrrh balm helpful for the tingling and venous insufficiency. I also take Nerve Renew and Nitric Oxide booster. I ran out of it a few months ago and noticed a real difference in how my legs felt during that period. Also inject Vitamin B12 monthly. I have had physical therapy for balance issues and use a rolling walker for stability. I purchased some Hike "earth shoes" and will give them a try.
What is the best to eliminate foot and toe numbness of Neuroparhy?
I see that some of you are working with a pain management clinic and wondering if they every talked about Lyrica? I have been on it for over 1 yr. and yes, some people do experience side effects but the only one that I am sure about is weight gain. I think it is specifically to treat nerve pain so unlike tramadol, etc. this wouldn't work for a broken bone type pain. I am interested to know if you have heard about Lyrica or tried it. Thanks. Signed a fellow foot and leg PN sufferer.
Will do

I went through about 10-15 medicines including gabapentin 2400mg/day, nerve pain meds, qutenza wrap, I did the Spinal cord stimulator test, it didn’t work much. Tried the B12 regiment. I tried the TENS for only a month, I saw the response above about going longer. I’ll ask my doctor about Journvax. My insurance co gave me some possible alternatives Fentanyl (apparently it’s used for pain),Methodone which my pain clinic won’t do and most pharmacies won’t provide), Hydromorphone which is just an opioid, Uhggg!!
