Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

Hello @nscaccia, Welcome to Connect. You might want to discuss the hydrogen peroxide with your doctor. It's great that you are reading and learning what others are doing to help their neuropathy. I shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.

"There’s no scientific evidence that drinking hydrogen peroxide yields benefits. Plus, doing so is linked to dangerous side effects, including breathing problems, severe gut damage, and death."

You might find this article on the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy helpful for learning what some patients have found helpful and is more evidence based.

Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy?

@johnbishop I saw a neuralogist and was asked if I had about 10 different ailments that could cause or pretain to neuropathy, and I had none of the above. I was then told that this office sees about 3-4 people a week who have neuropothy systems, but no obvious reason for them and that they just don't know what causes it. They then advised me to be tested and I declined as I know people that have endured this nerve test and told me it was awful and very painful. So here I am left to figure it out for myself. I understand the dangers of H2 therapy and I take every precaution. I can tell you this, I have been taking H2 since Aug 2025, I use a tens unit about four times a week, I elevate my legs for about 15 minutes a night before I go to sleep and I sleep on my left side (for my heart and circulation). My neurapothy is still there, but not as bad as it was when I first realized I had a real problem and I can honestly say it has not progressed and gotten worse. I consider that evidence of H2 working.

@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.

I'm 58. I am a diabetic since 2017 (A1C 8.7 - 10.7)and major peripheral neuropathy which initially started with my feet (tingling, numb, painful nerve discomfort, nerve strikes, etc..). Until this day(2026) with Diabetes and Peripheral Neuropathy, major anxiety, etc..they eventually spread throughout my body from feet, calves, thighs, waist and hands(fingers) which also included all the awful symptoms.....regardless if you follow doctors orders, meds, insulin, meals, etc.. NO CURE!

After all the doctors, neurologist, specialist, emergency rooms, hospitals, prescribed medications such as (Pregabapentin/gabapentin, Juniva, Metformin, Duloxetine, Cymbalta, insulin, etc.. and also purchased massagers, creams, medical devices, and stuff on Amazon to help with neuropathy at no avail....

As of today, I totally regret to spend thousands and thousands of dollars (Out of Pocket and/or Insurance) for diabetes, neuropathy, anxiety, insomnia, etc. while doctors mislead your cures for financial gain.

Sadly, serious mental and health pain complications and conditions were experienced as "NO CURE" after all ! The final solution mentioned by mental professional was to consider to amputate feet, and legs, and hands. I gave it some thought but ultimately refused all of it.

After 8 years with such conditions, you DO NOT want the neuropathy (PN-nerve damage) to grow, spread and affect your entire feet, calves, thighs, waist and hands as it is an extremely uneasy, frustrating state of mind, awful and deadly anxiety, stress, insomnia, weak muscles, bad nerves with daily activities, etc..

And many years of experience, I found NO devices, creams, massagers, meds, specialist, doctors, etc. for PN and diabetes which comes with many bad symthoms. I simply have molded and learned to ignore the awful symptoms as it has been a part of my life for many years. It is an extremely miserable way to live into the golden years...

As I feel discomfort and eventually accepted "NO CURES" regardless of managed diabetes or not, I purchased a 2 year dog (German Shepherd) to help encourage, smile, somewhat ignore nerve pain, medical problems and walk at least 4 times a week which helps some body movements, muscles, and little help with bad nerves regardless of the pain. He is amazing! I regret not buying/adoption dog many years ago...as i still want to live a bit longer as I age...

My advice is to eat healthy, daily walks, routine scheduled "exercise' plan and possibly adopt a dog for serious encouragement, motivation, smiles, and most definitely "Save your Money"…! The end is near .....

My prayers are with all of you …

@nscaccia Those EMG and conductivity tests aren't that bad as you've been told, and can help pinpoint what could be causing your symptoms.
