severe peripheral neuropathy and vitamin B6

It is unfortunate that the search for relief provides temporary relief at best. In most cases the meds work on the brain and tell the person the pain is less or the symptoms have decreased. Then tolerance occurs and the person needs more or some other drug/supplement. There is no cure!
My suggestion. STOP searching and learn to accept your issues. Exercise, eat healthy meals and try to practice an attitude of gratitude. What we practice, we become. I focus on this. A dear friend of mine passed away in March from ALS. THAT was a horrible way to live and to die!

This is the best advice....we can obsess and go down every road that comes along and for most these suggestions don't ever help. We have an irreversible condition. I have good motor function in my almost totally numb legs/feet but I still exercise at a high level and go to many impact classes like dance, zumba, aerobics. I do muscle strengthening as well as core. My balance is off...just started Tai Chi and I am extremely careful in my everyday life to avoid falls. I love this message board and look for encouraging life styles. I know not everyone has the same symptoms. I don't have pain (I am grateful) but I do have severe cramping at night and vibrations down my legs if my body is touched below my waist. I have a really good neurologist (Columbia....Mayo would not ac cept me in any of their locations) but my search for a good neurologist has not. been easy...so many just write you off. Anyway, lets support each other. We don't have ALS, Parkinson's or Alzheimers among other things.
