My mother at around age 75 had PN after having had chemotherapy and was in terrible pain. I found a PT who would treat her IF she would take an over-the-counter vitamin combination (Extra Strength Nerve Support Formula by RHP Health Products). It was by mail order and expensive for a variety of vitamins, mostly various vitamin Ds.

She took the vitamins and felt a lot better and also received treatments from the PT for awhile although she found them painful. After awhile just the vitamins were all she needed.

I ended up also with PN and also take those same vitamins daily for the last 25 years and they help a LOT. I also have foot reflexology twice a month. And, acupuncture, a massage session a PT session, and a Feldenkrais session monthly too, a lot of variety of bodywork. (I am a CranioSacral Therapist myself so aware of a variety of potential non-mediated solutions.)

I do not have any foot pain now, and can feel my feet. I do cardio at my gym 3-5 times a week plus 1-2 sessions of strength training weekly. I do stretching exercises given to me by my PT most every day for between 15-20 minutes.

I also eat mostly organic food, and am growing my own when I can. I do have other medical issues that I've had various medical treatments for. I still work 3/4 time and have an active brain, see friends, read, and spend time monitoring my lifestyle and noticing in-the-moment how I'm feeling along with checking in with myself at the end of each day for what I'm grateful for.

My clients and friends say I look 20-25 years younger than my actual age. I have a positive attitude and tend to look for the blessings and opportunities in life. I also tend to sleep between 8-9 hours a night which helps a lot too.

I love what I do professionally and see clients in-person, helping them live a better life themselves. By staying busy and in-the-moment I avoid spending time worrying about all the negative things that can happen. Being cautious helps too, not rushing, holding onto hand railings, etc. Noticing the beauty in nature daily too rather than dwelling on all the aches and pains (I have them too) helps me live a better quality of life that is mostly pain free when I take good care of myself.
