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/.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the scrambler therapy. There are quite a few members who have discussed the scrambler therapy - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/.

2 ReactionsI 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

1 ReactionOnce again, folks. There are no "miracle cure" supplements. Neuropathy cannot be cured...yet. It can only be managed, although I am still looking for something to manage it.

3 ReactionsHi Valyruss
I am so happy to hear that you found a treatment that actually works for Sciatic pain. What exactly is treatment with Sanexas? what is the Jardiance for diabetes?
I have been dealing with Sciatica for over ten years and have been taking Gabapentin for as long as I can remember, and it only provides temporary relief for sleeping.
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.

5 ReactionsHi Lauren. So you take Cymbalta for the peripheral neuropathy? I was just prescribed Cymbalta on 2/4/25 for neuropathy and RA-Chronic pain. Did you have any extreme increase in heartrate or blood pressure when first taking Cymbalta? Thanks for posting.

1 ReactionI had a problems with Cymbalta. It made me feel "too good" and then I had scarey mood swings and vertigo. Apparently it works for some but not for me.

1 ReactionI recommend you do a longer trial of TENS. It may take many months to repair the nerves. I’m having some success with it, I think, after three weeks.
I used a TENS unit 40 years ago after back surgery and it took about a year to repair the nerve. My best…
