@colleenyoung I am new at this so please bear with me I would love to get some answers to neuropathy. I'm not sure it there is a cure or if there is something that can subside some of the pins and needles/charlie horse cramps. I have had this for about 4 years and it can get real painful, the pain runs through my feet all the way up my legs and at night I wake up in the middle of the night with the most unbearable pain that I almost pass out from it. I not only have the pin and needles especially when I go to bed at night it is tuff to get to sleep. I keep getting told "drink more water, drink more tonic water with quinine" it doesn't work and every night when I go to bed I panic because I know it's going to happen again. I hope to be able to find a seminar when this Covin get over so I can get more information and hopefully some information to treatment. I'd love to get a good nights sleep since I haven't had any since this started 4 years ago. I found this group by accident and hope that maybe I can get some suggestions and read what other what others are doing to live with this.

One of the better sites for neuropathy information is Neuropathy Commons -- https://neuropathycommons.org/

Have you seen a neurologist and been diagnosed with neuropathy?

Same here, I’ve resorted to sleeping pills. Ambien (5mg.)every night allows me to sleep, and I use compression stockings too
