Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, the neurologists never offer alternatives. Cleveland Clinic said there is not enough funds to research alternative healthy options. approximately over 180 million neuropathy suffers and yet nothing but a drug for seizures developed back in 1983. Lyrica has even more side effects. I did have an MRI of the spine and basically my S1 joint causing some back pain but no severe compression. I try to keep my Diest low sugar since that is a high inflammatory factor. I had 9 ALA IVs last year but didn't help that much. I am not a diabetic. Will pursue gluten free option as that has been mentioned on this site.
