Thank you for your kind and empathetic reply. It was comforting. There are so many people who have PN that I don’t understand why there isn’t more attention devoted to it. There is a plethora of OTC remedies - which often fall short - so I would think that some company would see the lucrative value in developing a cure or more effective treatment. I was recently at a major medical center in my state, and the only option I was given was doubling the dose of my Gabapentin. Even on my current dose I am having trouble tolerating the side effects; however, I need better pain control and was hoping that at the very least, they could add something to my current treatment regimen rather than just more of the same. I showed him the four pages of alternative treatments from the PN Foundation site, and after glancing at it briefly, he said that none of it worked. Imagine my disappointment after putting so many hopes on this appointment that I waited such a long time for. Thank God for all of you.

I experienced relief from the pain with accupuncture... and I have seen several people in this forum report similar success. For me, I did it regularly for months. It did not help with numbness and the acupuncturist did say up front that he had success with pain in other cases but not to expect relief from the numbness
