Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

I have not yet found a treatment that works. I did, however, (following the advice of someone else on this forum) see a podiatrist. He suggested taking 600 mg of alpha lipoid acid and 1000 mg extended release B Complex for three months. He said to take daily without fail and he will do some testing of nerve conduction when I see him in three months. I began four days ago. Has anyone tried these supplements?

I have PN for the pad 20 years. I’ve been taking Alpha Lipoic Acid for about 15. I also take 5000mg of B12 and 4-6 gabapentin 300mg. That’s down from 12 a day. I don’t know if all that OTC works or not, but the gabapentin does.
Good luck to all.

I may give the Healthy Feet and Nerves a try, as I am looking for a replacement for the Vasopro Plus that is part of the "blueprint" program, once it's gone. It appears that it offers most of the same benefits as the Vasopro.

I, also, would like to know what type of magnesium, and how much. Thanks.

I have read in many journals and articles on the type of magnesium and the amounts one should take. First off it should be magnesium glycinate - glycinate is the key word here.
Also, many of us with IPN will take R-Lipoic Acid and, my research has indicated that you take this with Acetyl-L Carnitine as they work well with each other. You need to do some research to find the amount and timing.

Magnesium didn't do anything to help my symptoms.

I've heard that dying is somewhat effective.

Absolutely!!!

I have recently tried Tumeric, and I am super surprised that I actually could tell a difference. It hasnt been a huge difference but when you have diabetic peripheral neuropathy throughout your entire body, even the tiniest difference can make the biggest difference. I also basically diagnosed myself with Vitamin B, D, magnesium,and potassium deficiency because I was having these all over convulsions/jerks (they almost felt like seizures) every time I would try and relax or try and fall asleep and my daughter told me I would literally jump and twitch all night long. I went to my neurologist 3 times, the orthopedic 2 times and I can't even remember how many primary doctors I went to begging for help. That went on for almost 5 years and one day i was reading something about body jerks and the article mentioned areas of the body where spasms and twitches were more commonly happening and I thought it was worth a shot since it sounded exactly like what was going on with me and the spasms stopped the very next day and I haven't had 1 since!! I even asked the neurologist if my issues could be because of a vitamin deficiency and she said that most likely not because it is so rare. Come to find out, it's not all that rare at all.

I'm still having the horrible neuropathy pain and sensitivity though. I feel like I'm getting bit or pinched a lot. I can scratch my arm and feel a pinch in my calf. Or I can just touch my foot and feel pins and needles pain on my head. The very worse thing I hate though is I am ALWAYS sweating! I'm always either too hot or too cold but even if I'm shivering cold, I'm STILL sweating. Does anyone else sweat like that with peripheral neuropathy?
