I wish that some medical research facility would take on a study that would be a controlled experiment with the suggested solutions to our particular type of neuropathy, no pain associated with our neuropathy. I do not have diabetes and like you suffer with no pain. That in itself is a blessing. I take the additional vitamin B 12 over-the-counter along with stimulating the nerve endings in my feet by vigorously the bottom and tops of my feet and toes with a fork. Yes, a normal eating fork. This seems to give my nerves a instant stimulation which I perform each morning and each night. I then rub a typical over-the-counter analgesic cream and then where my socks even when I sleep. When I walk during the day, I make a conscious effort to push off with my toes as I walk forward. I am still fairly active working in my yard and, splitting wood for the winter, which requires me to walk on uneven ground, and sometimes losing my balance. However, I think this type of exercise, stimulation is good.

The problem is that there seems to be no research in a controlled atmosphere and experimentation to determine what exercises and medication's actually give without dispute, relief to peripheral neuropathy. Or, at least I have not heard of any. I am 73 years old and fine that, forcing myself to stay active, seems to be the best remedy. I am also a praying man and I believe prayer helps! Praying especially that a cure will be found and made available at an affordable price. I have been told that the inability to drive and a wheelchair are somewhere in my future.

I just read in this blog that alpha lipoic acid (ALA) has shown some promise and is available on Amazon. If my research shows there are no significant side effects, I will try this supplement.
