Neuropathy treatments: How to avoid scams?

I am new to this forum although I have been suffering with peripheral neuropathy for 2 years (none diabetic). Like most sufferers I have searched endlessly to find supplements that provide some relief and a possible cure. My search has proved how impossible this quest is and so expensive due to misleading adverts and down right scams.What would be really helpful if members posted their experiences with supplements they’ve tried , which were useless/helpful or obvious scams. I am sure there must be some helpful supplements out there and we would all benefit if these were posted on this forum.

There was One Amazon thing that I ordered, which didn’t even work and I returned. The company offered me $50 to give it a good review.

I have tried everything from supplements to electric pulse, spent hundreds of dollars, nothing I have tried has helped, if anyone knows of something that will help please let me and others know

My wife has peripheral neuropathy, and she has found that the vitamins and supplements recommended by Mayo do seem to provide some relief from her worst symptoms, but only if taken daily.

Welcome @billydobbs, Sorry you haven't found something that provides some relief yet. Not sure if you have seen the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy website yet but it has a pretty comprehensive list of complementary and alternative treatments that neuropathy patients have found helpful - https://www.foundationforpn.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Complementary-and-Alternative-Treatments-Revised-2020-final.-1.pdf.

What symptoms bother you the most?
