Desperate: Is there any hope for neuropathy?

That was me - hiking, yard work, painting walls, enjoying life then life came to a grinding halt. Mayo-Rochester is ranked #1 for Mayo and I’ve been there 10x for family members - I could give tours. The beauty of Mayo is you go there, you see all the specialists, have all the tests in a compressed window of time and at the end, they have all consulted - a team approach - and come up with a diagnosis and a plan. It is the Hogwarts of medicine. We’ve always left feeling so much better and more hopeful than when we got there. They don’t know what caused mine and I feel that it is important to know why so they potentially could keep this from progressing. Yesterday I started taking 100 mg Gabapentin 4x/day. I find that the lower dose spaced out causes a lot less brain fog than a higher dose all at once. I have to be able to drive - and think! Keep me posted and let me know what is helping you along the way. Communicating with others is helping me feel less alone.

Hello…I too have neuropathy of unknown origin. If possible, try to develop some sort of “movement “ regimen….where it be daily walks, swimming etc. Sometimes walking isn’t possible…I find stationary bikes are good as there isn’t all the body weight on the back , legs and feet. If you can do a “movement “ routine of some sort daily it will help in your ability to get around and perhaps just as important…it help the mind as you feel a sense of accomplishment. I wish you success in finding relief.
