Hi all, thank you for letting me join your group. I have peripheral neuropathy in my hands and feet, causing considerable discomfort. I am on a very high dose of Gabapentin, and this is helping slightly. I've been told about and also researched red light therapy. Has anyone got any information/experience with this, good or bad? As I'm writing this, I'm struggling with my hands, so please excuse the short message.

Thanks Mark

Welcome Mark @markherbert70, Sorry to hear your treatment is not helping much with your neuropathy symptoms. Here are a couple of discussions on red light therapy but there are many if you want to search "red light therapy" in the search box at the top of any Connect page.

Have you seen the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy website? They have a lot of great information on the different treatments, as well as some tips for vetting the different neuropathy cures being offered on the market.
