Yes, unfortunately there is no cure, no magic pill. I figured after being told I had peripheral neuropathy for about 5 years, I'd find out once and for all. My wife and I in Feb 2020 went to Mayo in MN to get real answers. After a large variety of tests, I was told what form of PN I have and there is no cure. If there was a magic pill, they would know about it. They confirmed what other docs said and it was very hard to accept but I did and from that point, I focused on what to do to live with it. So, I'm now 9 years in and make life adjustments along the way. Ed

Ed. That’s exactly what I have done. I do have some pain relievers but only take 2 early in the morning and 2 at bedtime.
That allows to at function during the day. I have to use a cane to walk. I use a walker in the house. However I can drive safely.
