Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Yes. 5 yrs maybe from a spondylosis I was hit on my back years ago but never knew I had spondy till a few years later. I go to Sanexas now vitamin shots in my calf's and electric stim they do. Hope it helps. I wear barefoot shoes most of the time. At night worse, sometimes a light compression knee sock. Magnesium on legs and feet. Try low carb but sometimes cheat. I deal with it, try to keep a good outlook every day. I pray a lot. I had a great lower back till a man hurt me 4o yrs ago. Thankful only started neuropathy 5 yrs ago and not 40.

Do you mind if I ask what cholesterol medicine you were taking?

I have post herpetic neuralgia. I have been in chronic since September 2017. I have tried everything I can and more than I can afford. Too shorten the list diet, vitamins cream, oils, cbd, treatments including surgery. Next month I am going to visit surgeon for another consultation for a neurectomy (many nerves damaged). It's a life changer. From the shingles and it's miserable pain. I'm still trying.

Please excuse errors. I'm up way too early. At times, pain wakes you up.

Oh yes, for years.

Welcome @chemist1, What symptoms do you have with your neuropathy? Have you found any treatment that helps with the symptoms?

My worst symptom is overwhelming leg fatigue. I try to walk (my dog) 90 minutes a day, but it can be painful. No, I am trying to find out now what I can do, since this has worsened over the last couple of years. What is your worst symptom? And does anything help?

I'm sorry, I just realized you are a mentor.

I don't have any pain with my neuropathy, just some numbness and tingling. Keeping my legs and feet hydrated with lotion helps some along with some daily exercise. I can't walk any distance due to back issues so get most of my daily steps using a recumbent exercise bike. If you haven't already seen the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy site, it has some really helpful information - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.
