Neuropathy: What works and what are scams?

My pulmonologist suggested I take Gabapentin, so my primary doctor prescribed this for me. I am up to 2400mg per day. It helps but I still have difficulty with the pins and heat and worn-out stuff but at about a 5 rather than a 10+.
So, I stumbled upon this pill and am just beginning to research. Take it away if you have a say! Thanks and cheers from Jill

Hi @jillchristline, there was a discussion related to this product that had to be removed from the community discussions. It attracted resellers and spammers with fake testimonials about the product. Not the kind of activity Mayo Clinic Connect wishes to attract.
I moved your question regarding Nerve Shield to this related discussion in order to not create a repeat scenario:

I haven’t tried it, but reading the reviews on Amazon, more people said it did nothing for them than those who liked it. Gabapentin, however, not only did not work for me, but also started shutting down my kidneys. I was comatose by the time my husband got me to the hospital. All that was required to get me back to normal was to discontinue the drug and get me hydrated again.
