Surely some people have found something that has helped with this awful disease. It would be so encouraging to here from anyone who could offer hope. It would even help to hear about those who have tried so called cures that have failed, at least that would warn others not to waste their money. I for one cannot just give in.

I think the biggest problem is neuropathy is a symptom of something else and not a disease in and of itself. What works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. My symptoms are caused by inflammation and I seme-successfully controlled the pain with supplements that targeted inflammation, then when that was no longer enough added LDN to the supplements and got another 10 months. Now that combination is not enough (either my body has grown a tolerance to what I am taking or it is progressing) and I am back at the search for relief.

So if you want to try something, ask your doctor about LDN - it worked wonders for me for about a year, and did nothing for my father with type-2 diabetic neuropathy, so your mileage may vary.

My feet burn with neuropathy. A nurse friend sent me (from Amazon) a bottle of frankincense & myrrh. A very small amount rubbed into my feet actually soothes the burning pain. The bottle actually says Neuropathy on it. Use 2 or 3 times a day. Honestly helps

I have had peripheral neuropathy since 2016 after a cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy. I have tried and still take these medications without a lot of relief, pregabalin, duloxetine, oxicodone, topical RX. All of this causes fatigue. I've seen neurologist and pain clinics and they don't give me any other recommendations than what I'm doing. Always hopeful!
