Does anyone treat their neuropathy without pharmaceutical drugs?

Yes,,,,,,,,
For me keeping my feet cool, helps (sleeping with one foot-leg out of the blankets seems to do the trick for me)..
At work I can't do that so I'm searching for some kind of cooling shoe inserts.
So summer months are the worst for me....Hot baths also
I tried all the RX stuff by the time it worked somewhat it made me dizzy..goofy so I quit it
I'm not diabetic but sugar/Chocolate seems to set it off also Alcohol...Dang! lol
I'm trying Metformin because it help regulate your glucose...The verdict is still out on this since I just started it..
The list:
B Vitamins
R-ALA
Acetyl-Carnitine
N-acetyl-cysteine
Curcumin
Fish Oil (Omega"s) I use Krill Oil
This is the list from the Mayo Clinic for what helps..

I’m a 78 year old type 2 diabetic on Metformin only and also am triggered with tingling, burning and sometimes numbness in my feet. Chocolate, and spicy foods seem to elevate symptoms for me as well. I only use pure stevia minimally, gave up sugar long ago. From the list of supplements I take sublingual B12 methylcobalamin , Magnesium Glysinate, Omega 3 Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil and follow Mediterranean diet. What helped the most however was adding R-ALA 3 months ago. I also wear low pressure bamboo compression socks which helps with my varicose veins.

"Has anyone tried “Diosmin-Hesperidin” for neuropathy? These supplements may be very helpful to regenerate nerves."
I just started. Will let you all know.

I've done a lot of research on red light/NIR (near infra-red) therapy for my tingling and numbness in lower legs and feet since July. I was getting treatments at a chiropractor and through physical therapy. When I experienced relief, I also bought a couple of in-home units so I could supplement those treatments and eventually replace the trips. The relief is non-linear, often day-to-day, so understand this is a long-term therapy before lasting results. Clinical studies suggest many experience improvements. A friend's podiatrist (MD) is actually getting a machine. But do your homework before taking the plunge on in-home units, since there are many criteria to consider. Treatments by professionals can be expensive and generally not covered by insurance.

In addition to the supplement list a available on the Mayo Clinic website, you may also want to try a magnesium glycinate cream or spray on your feet and other extremities that are affected by PN. I've found it to be somewhat helpful in addition to the Mayo supplements.

What is R-ALA-3?
Thanks.

He said R-ALA, 3 months ago 🙂 everything was strung together

I, too, sleep with my feet uncovered or partially hanging over the bed. I also sleep with a fan on my feet, especially in the summer. Hope this helps.

Same here…

hi,
I think I have small fibre neuropathy, as it is undiagnosed and idiopathic. I have found a number of supplements useful to help increase my overall well-being and hopefully it all goes to reduce the progressions and maybe reversal of the SFN.
I've used
Omega 3, Lipoid acid, PEA for pain, B12 and Vit D. and Vit C daily.
I am also on 25mg pregabalin daily but hopefully will stop that shortly after being on 150mg daily. Not because symptoms are gone but the side effects of the meds are horrible.
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with red light therapy?
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks,
Karen
