I have the same condition. It would be nice if you would comment on this subject. As far as I know there is no cure for this condition, just pain medicine which jus makes the drug industry richer.

Some antidepressants help with numbness and pain. I also take alpha lipoic (OTC) acid which helped even more to reduce numbness. It has also helped my back pain.

@bigal1956 I was told absolutely after my diagnosis for peripheral neuropathy that there was no treatment and no cure but should the pain grow too great to see my GP. I go to the gym to Aqua fitness five days a week I am now going to up it and do 2 classes in the hope that this will improve my a lot. Whilst my walking isn’t great it seems to be static however balance is becoming a nuisance hence taking two classes. I will post if the extra exercise helps anything good luck everyone.
