@heisenberg34 I had never heard about it either until two years ago. It was perplexing at first but manageable. Then I had back surgery and the symptoms increased. Diagnosed with mild axonal neuropathy. Doesn’t feel so mild especially now up to my knees. I’ve tried advertised cures, waste of money. I have autoimmune diseases which I was told may be the cause. I’m now going to try Alpha Lipoic Acid and B vitamins. Just have to take it at least 4 hours after other meds. I also sometimes use CBD cream on my feet and knees which seems to help a bit. Massage doesn’t really help. Cbd gummies and melatonin help to sleep.

@aml25 Melatonin disagrees with me. I like gummies, but I think that they are contraindicated with Eliquis. So I just have to hang in there and hope that I can completely taper. Disrupted sleep is not new to me, so I just do the best to stay on a regular schedule, eat well and try to reduce stress any way that I can.

@aml25 I guess that most of the time we don't know the cause of our neuropathy. I just had lower back pain until about two years ago. I had a trial of a new spinal cord stimulator. They were "digging around" my back to try and get the leads in place. Two months later, all this new pain showed up. Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy they told me. No identifiable cause. Gotta wonder though. Now, my feet burn, my ankles and back of my legs burn and hurt. Like you, I have tried a number of neuropathy creams to ease the burning, but none have helped. I find that my prayer time has become more intentional. Sometimes I feel like Job who was a righteous man before God but had to suffer many trials and suffering. But God eventually restored him.
I hope you can find something that helps. What would you say your average pain level is?
