Welcome @rnwings, It can definitely be discouraging dealing with neuropathy. I think I asked the same question of a few of my primary care docs since my late 40s when my toes first started tingling and feeling a little numb. My docs had always shrugged it off as nerve damage and as long as I had no pain there wasn't anything that could be done. It wasn't I was around 75 that I finally decided I had to know what my diagnosis was and got a referral to a neurologist. I shared my neuropathy journey story in another discussion here along with other members - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/ along with other members.
The good news is that it can be difficult to live with but you have a lot of company here on Connect where you can learn what has provided some relief. Lots of different discussions in the Neuropathy Support Group that you might find helpful. Here's a list if you want to scan through them - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuropathy/
