@scared002 I'm 71 and have had neuropathy since a cancer diagnosis over a decade ago. Gabapentin left me disoriented and I had a fender-bender, which I interpreted as a sign to get off of it. Vitamin B12 really helped. Though I'm not as stringent as Don, an improved diet has helped. I occasionally take ibuprofen, exercise regularly and try keep my feet warm. I recently tried CBD (it's legal in my jurisdiction) and it helps too. Hang in there and try to be open to trying different things (as long as they don't hurt you). My neuropathy hasn't progressed for years. Yes, it's somewhat painful at bedtime and often hard to fall asleep but otherwise I live a normal life ... except for my afternoon naps. LOL

@pamfitz I just started this battle recently, you're inspirational. I'm going to try CBD next. Best of luck to you, God bless.✌️❤️🙏

@pamfitz hi & thanks for response! I have neuropathy but I can say it doesn’t bother me that much. I take B vitamins and gabapentin.
But I WANT TO BE ABLE TO WALK!!!
