Improving neuropathy without spending a fortune - What actually helps?

I love my Hoka Clifton 9. I have a Hoka slip-on for wearing in the house, but the toe bed is not as comfortable. I bought them online. If you invest in a Hoka shoe, try them on in and store and really walk around. I went to a Dick’s Sporting Goods, and the young kids there knew nothing about the shoe, but let me walk in different models all around the store. The Hoka Clifton 9 works very well for me. There is also the Hoka Bondi 9 and one other I cannot recall. I tried Zero shoes. A no go. Very unbalanced and just not comfortable, for me.

A great lounge chair and scotch on the rocks works great.

I am an 85-year-old, with alcohol-induced peripheral neuropathy diagnosed in 2018. Super vitamin B and 300g of ALA seemed to reduce numbness in both feet. No pain or balance issues were experienced over the next 7 years. Learning from the discussions on Mayo Connect that each individual responds differently to various "cures," I have experimented with 50g daily of Biotin for 5 weeks with no detectable change. Switching my ALA to 300g daily of Stabilized R-Lipolic Acid again reduced the intensity of foot numbness this past year. Because the numbness seemed to be intensifying and impacting areas above the ankle, I increased the R-LA to 600g daily March 27 and noticed significant reduction in numbness after April 16. Note: My primary physician is in the loop and ensures my experiments do not conflict with other medications I am taking for gout, acid reflux, and blood pressure.

I have had problems with neuropathy since I was in my early 40s. I am now 79. I have been taking Juice Plus their Berry capsules for years. It helps tremendously with the numbness. Our circulation in our legs is the problem and the berries Target this problem. I have just recently added Dynamic nerve from Stonehenge and it is helping me. Also. I don't take any prescription medications for my neuropathy. I hope that this helps someone. Using the berries works on the cellular level and it takes at least 6;weeks to feel the results. There are 17!servings of berries in the capsules. And it needs to be continued to have our sensations back.

Glad you found some non-Rx help. I will look into this. My neuropathy appears to have been caused by my severe reaction to the Rx Methylprednisolone--a doctor prescribed it for my sinus infection and even though I took it for only two days, I now have a plethora of problems.

Has anyone ever heard of or used the neuroPro, electrical muscle stimulation? I just bought one for $97. I've tried it just a few times so I don't know if it works. It has several different types of effects and a button you can make the intensity lower or really high. It gives you different kinds of like electrical shocks. It is a pad you place your feet on. Feels weird but good in a way!! I'm just so scared it might make my feet and legs worse than they are. Just wandering if anyone has tried this or something like it and can tell me if I should continue using it. Thanks,

Great news Jetson.
Yes alcohol was the cause. Nerves are insulated with a fat called MYELIN. Alcohol dissolve fat. Have you cut back enough. Go for it.

Have u reduced alcohol. It dissolved nerve coat.

Where do you purchase the Juice Plus their Berry capsules? Can you furnish the link you used to purchase?

I found them on Amazon, just search JuicePlus+ Berry Blend. They are $69 for 120.
