Neuropathy: What works and what are scams?

I'll start my message with :
"What works for me, may not work for others and what works for them , may not work for me.".
I have had chemo induced neuropathy since 2013; for 11 years. I have not tried nor will I try any of these so called pain relievers or pain curers using some kind of machine sold by the electronic-snake-oil salespersons.
I have never tried any homeopathic meds. My only meds are doctor prescribed.
I have done much research, most of it anecdotal, and have come to agree with long-term sufferers as well as many medical folks, that, THERE IS NO MURE FOR NEUROPATHY!". It is up to you and your doc to try to establish a routine that offers you the best sleep, least pain and balance relief. I have found a
Tylenol-Tramadol-time regium that helps me for most of the time. I'll end with a list of my failed attempts for relief; gabapentin - Google "Side effects of Gabapentin on line (I had 3 of them, the worst double vision)
Tylenol by itself - the maximum you should take is 4 grams (4000mg) per 24-hours )
Vicodin - another opiate that might cause you to use too much of it
DO NOT TAKE ANY OPIATE, VIDPODINE OR TRAMADOL,
WITH AMBIEN OR ANY OTHER SLEEP-MED.).
We are smart animals, so do not fight a dead cause, rather cope wity it and keep smiling!

(talk with your doc and/or pharmacist about this mixture.)

Hi Skip: I'm impressed with the research you have done and also with the criteria you have developed.
One question: Did you experience double vision with gabapentin. I'm been on 900 mg gabapentin at night for years and I do have double, or triple, or quadruple vision. My glasses correct for it. I went off gabapentin, tapered off, for about a month and it made no change in my vision. Are the vision changes with gabapentin permanent or aret they reversible or partially reversible?
I totally agree: We are smart animals; therefore, there is no point in fighting a dead cause. Learn to cope with it and try to keep smiling! Amen!

What is your Tylenol-Tramadol regiment? Am taking 50 pregabalin in morning and 125 at night; but, still have to take Tramadol.
Thanks
