Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

I was just wondering if anybody has used ice slippers from Amazon and did they work for you? I also wanted to ask if anyone has used small doses of trazodone with gabapentin for pain relief and if so, could that work for you? Thank you for listening. Hope to hear something back. Carol

2 yrs ago I injured the trigeminal nerve. It runs from jaw hinge to teeth. Pain was intense intermittently and lasting seconds. Had been blowing a lot of alto sax. Took cabama zepine , After a few dental checks my Dr correctly diagnosed it.
Some 2 months ago I started lifting a 20 kg bar vertically. Neck strain strengthened jaw muscles. All symptoms gone.
An artery runs up the outside of brain. The trigeminal nerve crosses it. It's insulating fat (myelin) had been worn away. I read that alcohol stops B12. absorption. B12 (cobalamin) makes myelin. Have not drunk any alcohol for last 3 months. And take a B12 supplement.. Please Google " effect of alcohol on myelin production "

I have just been diagnosed with P.N.
Do any of you take Curcumin and find it effective, and I’m confused as to the recommended dose.

@lvgal I have been using it on my feet, twice a day, and I can really tell the difference! (although my symptoms are numbness, tingling, and just feeling cold.....no pain.)

Yes. Fixed mine when I found out that drinking alcohol was stopping absorption of B12. B12 makes nerves insulation ( myelin) as well as blood cells. Now taking supplement and stopped all alcohol. 83 yrs. No more nerve pain.

@aldi Aldi, I have taken Curcumin and Turmeric in the past and didn't think they did much for relieving PN. I think R-ALA ( Alpha lipoic acid) helps a bit. I'm also taking L-citruline/arginine to increase blood flow. That stuff may help a bit. I've tried a lot of things. Magnesium creams on feet several times in 24 hours may also help over time. My next experiment is to put my feet on soft earth for about 15 minutes a few times a week. Dirt is where all the antibodies come from, so it may have something in it for neuropathy. Cut carbs and alcohol. My best!

I use CBD CLINIC Pain Relief Ointment 05. It works great before bed I rub it on my feet and calves.

I believe the answer is no, if it existed neurologists would prescribe it.

@arcuri24 Yep - so true! I'm 35 but I've had multiple neuropathies that started around age 19. Some are genetic, some are acquired. I've been thru the ringers and tried many things - SCS is the best thing for me + Gaba/Keppra 750 ER combo (trying to get off meds). Anything else anybody wants to know - feel free to ask. I've got quite the extensive experience with this and would be happy to help anyone who is in need of answers. 🙂
