Does anyone treat their neuropathy without pharmaceutical drugs?

@ld800 .

Doctors are far from perfect. I am sorry that you had that setback. One thing I know about neuropathy is that it presents with ultra-sensitivity. I have had tingling in my feet but never a burning. I have resumed taking ALA as it seems to help with my feet. I am very weary of taking medicine or injections. I believe a reaction to medication caused my neuropathy. I wonder why bacon and ham causes burning. Try some grassfed beef--a healthier choice and probably no burn.

@mikeyindiana

Yes, I have neuropathy. I had an EMG test done last year but my neurologist did say I have a mild case. Taking ALA seems to help me. I have other problems--some autoimmunity due to celiac disease and I also had some muscle wasting which caused some weight loss. Trying to rebuild muscle at age 72 certainly has its challenges. I am aware from respondents that neuropathy can be annoying and even painful. I hope you get a good night's sleep as that can help with repair of our bodies!

At 82 yr I suffered a neuropathy and prescribed the liver damaging carbamazepine for pain. Found turmeric worked. But I then took took plenty of vit B12 to renew missing nerve insulation ( myelin)
Good luck young fella.

Sex can relieve pain but if your wife doesn’t want it when you do, check with your neighbors, ya never know.
Okay for real. There are different stages of PN, some have serious pain and others have no pain, just numbness and tingling. All we can do is learn to deal with it. There is no cure and there will never be. Stay strong my friends.

@cit10jetjockey NO CURE FOR CIPN PERIOD!

I only have numbness and tingling in my feet and toes. no pain, Any new suggestions?

@glorybee344 Count your blessings! I would give just about anything to have just tingling and numbness. Pain is a daily 8.

@cit10jetjockey That's a pretty pessimistic view of PN... there will NEVER be a cure. Too many things for which "no cure" was the verdict have cures these days. Don't YOU give up hope.

@glorybee344 I have the same issues. No pain but weakness and balance issues.

It is such a pain puzzle that we get with this ailment for no apparent reason. I was hit with this many years ago, out of nowhere! Both my feet felt like they were burning! Doctor after Doctor had no clue, but this was 25 years ago! We have progressed! Finally, one doc said there was an answer! He actually said, "Which foot would you prefer I look at first? Since pain was the same in each foot, I said it did not matter. He looked at the right foot, sliced the bottom open and said, "sorry", I have found nothing. Then he told me casually, "Well you'll have to walk on your heel for a year and let this one heal!" What? Why not a warning? Why not just say "I can't help you" like all the other Docs did? At that point, I was desperate, so it was part my fault & sorry that I let him work on me!! I did that with desperation and HUGE consequences, now having developed Sciatica all the time from the weird way I walk! I have suffered 24 years to date! Now Doctors do not want to be involved (actually, I get it) in giving any advice except one FINALLY for a pain patch and a pill with CBD. Yippie! It helps ease the pain somewhat...but it takes a long time to get the right dose or it can have big, bad side effects! Keep trying, it really does help in the end! OK, lots of work, but it is worth it!
Best wishes to all of you in that same "Camp"!
