Were you told what caused your neuropathy? Did they do blood tests to see if you were deficient in vitamin b12 or at toxic levels of vitamin b6? Are you diabetic or do you drink alcohol (known to cause neuropathy)?

I have peripheral/small fiber neuropathy and take low dose gabapentin but it doesn’t really help and only makes me dizzy. I do take alpha Lipoic acid and Acetyl l carnitine supplements which are known to help some with neuropathy (they do seem to help me with some of the symptoms). I also have used the lidocaine pain patches and capsaicin pain cream which has helped me some.

I feel for you and can empathize with your pain. It may be good to look up nerve health diets to see if there is anything you can do to better support your nervous system through nutrition and what are things to avoid.

@dlydailyhope has anyone considered a spinal cord stimulation system?
