Hello and thank you! I have idiopathic neuropathy in my hands and feet. Nobody seems to know why. I've tried numerous creams and supplements, unfortunately, nothing helped. 1800-2400 mg of gabapentin (more on really bad days) is the only thing that takes the edge off. Unfortunately, it makes me feel like a zombie. I'm hoping to find some tips here for living/coping with this. Thanks for having me and listening. 😊

@crazycatlady4110 You are not alone trying to find something that helps. Quite a few members have started different discussions on what helps them if you want to scan through to learn more - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=neuropathy%20what%20helps

@crazycatlady4110 I have a very caring GP and we have been up hill and down dale with drugs. I have had leg trouble for many years, Axonal Peripheral Neuropathy since 2019. Cause unknown. Tried all the 'No drugs' nothing really helped. My latest brew is working very well, only problem is I've had Lyrica before for RLS and it augmented after 4 years. I have Lyrica am & pm and Palexia am & md and I am very comfortable at the moment. @wenner
