Hi, @rdelfin, My neuropathy is still relegated to just numbness and tingling in my feet and legs. I was not prescribed any medication for my p..n. but know there are others in this group with far more experience and more complications who can offer suggestions that have proved helpful for the good questions you pose. I did ask my neurologist if water therapy might help stimulate the atrophied nerves but he told me that it wouldn't.

@fiesty, I have had neuropathy for almost 30 years, ranging from my feet to my fingertips and shoulders. I tried everything the docs could suggest. Nothing helped. Finally, a couple years ago, someone suggested turmeric. So I bought a small jar of powdered turmeric from a big box store, and tried it. About a quarter teaspoon in small glass of warm water, about 6-8 oz. The neuropathy was gone in about 15 minutes. I do not use it every day, but only when the neuropathy is really driving my insane. Turmeric is a blood thinner, so one has to be very conservative about using it. I suspect the characteristic of blood thinner is part of the anti-neuropathy work.
