Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

Posted by bigjohnscho @bigjohnscho, Jul 1, 2025

I suspect that everyone on this forum has been searching for a medication that helps their neuropathy and even though you no that all the internet claims are false we continue to waste hundreds of pounds. Desperation is a powerful force. Has any one been fortunate enough to find a genuine treatment. I just can’t believe that there are so many awful people who prey on our vulnerability and knowingly orchestrate such elaborate scams.

@arnhilda -- I've been applying Vicks Vaporub since for last 5 months ... helps somewhat. -Minutes ago, I learn there is the "Kampo"
Japanese herbal approach--- more to learn.

I am a patient, not a Dr. I understand, no cure for PN. However story doesn't end there. CET treatments exist to reduce the pain. CET may not cure the underlying cause of PN, but CET treatment helped me to generate some new nerve growth which helps in reducing some of the pain while enabling mobility. I walk and drive better. I am doing much much better which improves my life now. Only time, my diet, and exercise will determine blood sugar levels and if/when it gets worse again. Maybe in the future a underlying cure will be found. Until then treatment that helps to reverse or slow nerve damage to any extent is good for me. Medicare covered my CET treatment. I see it as a way to see relief, better then just masking pain.

What has worked for me is the red near infrared light mat helicopter and I rub frankincense balm on my feet and legs at night and morning. I don’t take the drugs to many side effects and didn’t really help just caused more problems. I only try things that you can return for a full refund if it doesn’t work or insurance covers it. You are absolutely right about people praying on you when you’re trying to find something that gives you relief from PN. I can sleep thru the night with out being woke in pain. I’m also trying the vibrating plate now just got it yesterday.
