Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

I’ve hadPN for 16 years. I got talked into foot surgery by a foot surgeon then. It did nothing for my pain. He put me on Gabapentin. Said that I could take up to 12/day(300mg/pill). It made me tired and foggy but I got used to it. A couple years later I moved to Minnesota , that’s another story. Another Dr. sent to a neurologist. He did an EMG, said that I had PN. He couldn’t believe that aDr. prescribed that much Gabapentin. Reduced it to 6/ day and added
Duloxetine. Did that for a few years and just took the Gabapentin. Saw several ads for a “cure” for PN and finally bit the “silver bullet” that everyone is looking for. Went to a chiropractor that claimed to be able to reverse PN. Spent $5000. and got NO relief. Another chiropractor wanted $9800 for the same BS. I now take 3 Gabapentin, 600mg ALA and 5000 units of B12. Still have shooting pains ( I call them Zingers ) and numbness in my feet and now spreading to my hands. It’s manageable but not the way I want to live. I pray that someone can find a cure.

@growlers. B12 will be recoating nerves with insulating myelin. Did u know that alcohol stops absorbtion of B12.
@ggflyer46 I've been taking 3600mg of gabapentin along with duloxetine and 1200mg of ALA for several years, and all it does is dull the pain.
@ggflyer46
I took 9-300 Mg of Gabapentin. 900 Mg three times per day. Then I was put on 2 tablets of Duloxetine at night and I am not taking any Gabapentin any more. Still get moments of shooting pain, but I rub a lot of Lidocaine where the pain comes from and the pain finally goes away. I don't have as much shooting pain since I got rid of Gabapentin. Hopefully this helps some. Reddakota1
@ggflyer46 I am taking Neuropathies Away that I ordered on Amazon. Still on my first bottle, and I can tell improvement, They have several different ones, if you have kidney problems, etc. The one I am taking is Nerve support formula. Can tell improvement in my feet. My cousin told me about this and she had results after her first pill. this over the counter is what I like. I tried Gabapentin and it is not for me. NO.

@ggflyer46 Sorry for your pain. We live in the day of medical fraud and people see $$$$$ in our pain. I was reading about "Sarapin". Look it up. I am willing to try it but my pain doctor doesn't do it. I am encouraged about what I read. Seems safe too. Good luck!!!
