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.

Nortriptyline does work. When my neuropathy was at its
worst the neurologist prescribed this for me also and it works. I’m on 50mg daily. It was the only drug that took the pain away. It does nothing for the numbness or the tingling though and I have yet to find something that does.
