Does anyone treat their neuropathy without pharmaceutical drugs?

@greengold, I agree with that as well. I never took more than 200 mg daily. OTC dose is 100 mg. I think the ALA helps with slowing the progression of nerve damage. I also have nerve damage in my left arm which seems improved after 2 years of taking ALA. With autoimmune diseases, it’s difficult to really single out working remedies. Something is always under attack. Like being on a revolving symptom train.

I am totally afraid of taking prescription drugs for neuropathy or anything else for that matter. It seems these drugs might address one problem only to create another. And, I agree with you that working remedies are hard to identify in that we experience pain differently and there are so many other factors involved including diet, one's health, exercise and weather, to name a few. I had a shin shave biopsy 11 weeks ago and I still have pain there. I like to walk but I seem to pay a price for it--perhaps it is tissue inflammation. My neuropathy has also become more intense than it was before the shin surgery. I have a weak back due to degenerative disc disease and since I have been more focused on treating the shin, my back pain is returning. The most I will take is some tylenol. I wish the shin pain would resolve. I am going to see a physiatrist this week. Other doctors have not been so helpful thus far.
