@johnbishop did your numbness have any improvement? Im desperate for the recent change in mine to improve. My doctors aren't interested in talking about supplements. They just want to throw gabapentin at me even though I don't really struggle with pain.

@kitcatsheart I do feel like my numbness has improved some but it's still there. Kind of hard to describe for me since I also have to wear compression socks up to my knees daily for lymphedema in my legs and that squeezing all day provides a feeling all of it's own. I have had some feeling return to the bottoms of my feet that I really notice when I wear some barefoot shoes with no cushion.

Sorry your doctors aren't interested in talking about supplements. Right before I saw the neurologist for a diagnosis my PCP gave me gabapentin which I took for a couple of weeks and it did nothing for the numbness. After I told my PCP, she discussed it with my care team and the lead doc who explained it only helps with nerve pain and not numbness so I quit taking it.
