Hello @sashi10, Welcome to Connect. Learning more about your condition and what treatments are available is one of the best things you can do to help yourself. You are not alone worrying about your neuropathy progressing. Many, if not all of us, worry about the neuropathy getting worse. I thought I would share a few links others, including myself, have used to learn more about neuropathy.

In a large study published in the Anesthesia and Pain Journal, Gabapentin appears to be one of the contributing factors associated with dementia. Can a neurologist or professional in the field of neuropathy speak to this finding since gabapentin is frequently prescribed in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy? Specifically, does the benefit outweigh the risk? I realize that in the 75-plus years since peripheral neuropathy has been known, little to no cure has been found, and that few, if any, long-term management treatments have proven successful in mitigating the problem for the millions who suffer from this disease. Help!
