I have MANY strategies for coping w Peripheral Neuropathy. I do take Alpha Lipoic Acid & Pregabulin (Gabapentin dod not help at all). I have had 12 acupuncture treatments and they helped. The weather is allowing me to ride my recumbent trike late afternoon and it helps. I also save my afternoon & evening dishes for late evening. I try to keep moving until 10 ish pm which helps w the pain. It was quite an adjustment for me to be active until almost bedtime. I am 79 yo As I am typing this I'm soaking my feet in Epson Salts. Wearing shoes and having my feet covered is painful so I keep my feet uncovered during the night. Sometimes I use Volutran. Soaking my feet in cool water helps too or rubbing my feet w a wet cold wash cloth w ice cubes is soothing for me. I am usually sitting on a hard chair. Soft chairs make the PN worse and even causes my fanny to go numb.
