Neuropathy: What works and what are scams?

I just completed 5 treatments for scrambler therapy. I have neuropathy from past chemo and diabetes type 2. The treatments did not work for me. But they did seem to wake up my nerves. The treatments are not painful. It is worth a try for you as everyone is different. I am using essential oils, am considering a tens unit. I am on gabapentin. Take a tramadol at bedtime only. Helps for the most part. Neuropathy is a difficult illness .

I have type 1 diabetes (45 years) and terrible peripheral neuropathy in my feet and hands. I’ve been taking Cymbalta for 10 years (60 mg) and not sure how I’d live without it. I’ve used gabapentin before and it made me sleepy. I’ve used tramadol when my pain became unbearable but haven’t needed it in ages. For me Cymbalta has been a lifesaver
What Essential Oils are you using? Laura Henderson
I tried a ten unit and it did nothing. My PN is in my legs and feet. I have numbness and tingling and balance issues but no pain. Do waste your money. PN is here to stay.

Welcome @cowboys57, You are right, neuropathy is definitely a difficult illness to deal with. I only have the numbness and tingling with mine so it's not quite as bad for me but it's still aggravating to say the least. If you haven't seen the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy, it's a wealth of information for finding helpful information on neuropathy treatments - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.
