There is no cure for neuropathy, so they can only treat it's symptoms, pain, numbness, and burning. Some things can help to a certain extent, but the pain is always there, at least in my case. I've been taking the maximum dose of 3600mg of Gabapentin every day for about 4 years now, along with 1200mg of alpha lipoic acid as recommended by my doctor. I take several supplements as well, a multi vitamin, a B vitamin complex, fish oil, glucosamine, calcium/D3, and a lactose support supplement. This is in addition to the 9 prescription drugs that I'm on, which means that I have to swallow almost 40 pills every single day. You do what you have to do to have any kind of a quality of life in our declining years.

@mrmacabre I don’t believe that big pharma want you to think that so they can make a boat load of money! There are treatments, one is a combination of alpha lipoic acid, methylated B12 and B1
