I am an 80 year old Vietnam Veteran and have been working with 14 different doctors, trying all kinds of "snake oils" these past years and things continue to worsen including acupuncture, chiropractic, Ketamine infusions, and lately the RHA treatments- none of which helped unfortunately. I am way past the 70.000 mile warranty and now trying "Morning Kick" and Serve Regen so will keep everyone interested who cares to know. The Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic are good sources, but everyone seems to be searching for answers to a very very complex, involved, and individual experience. We can't give up and we have to keep moving for sure. Semper Fi.

Hi
I am 79 years old and have neuropathy. I just started taking Nortriptyline 20 mg at bedtime and it is the first medication that has worked. I feel 95% better. I am sorry that you have been suffering so long. Have you tried any of the tricyclic medications (nortriptyline, etc.? They are old anti-depressants that have been found to help with nerve pain. My neurologist prescribed it after trying Gabapentin, Acupuncture, etc.
Wishing you the best.

Fred, thanks for your willingness to put your life on the line back then. With the draft, you probably didn’t have a choice, but you didn’t run away! Those were tough times for you guys.
I have Polyneuropathy . My nerves were damaged by an autoimmune disease. I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago, and I have not found anything with the exception of lidocaine that helps.
A cure does not exist. Yet…
