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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

@johnbishop

Okay, how are you feeling. Has it impacted your day to day activities. More strength or capacity to do "normal " activities?

@chandria40 at 83 years old I feel fairly good but do have other conditions that give me daily aches and pains, just not the neuropathy. A lot less strength even though I try to exercise 4 or 5 days a week for 30 to 45 minutes along with daily work in the yard and around the house. I can say that my normal is close to what my other friends at the same age is with a few exceptions. Heavy objects are a problem for me along with balance. The neuropathy numbness and some tingling has stayed in my lower legs and feet but has not progressed much for the past 10 years so I consider that a good thing.

B12 is one of the neuropathy supplements I take for neuropathy. The complete list of supplement I take are in the Why the Protocol document I've shared before. Here's the link - https://cdn.prod-carehubs.net/n1/748e8fe697af5de8/uploads/2023/11/WHY-THE-PROTOCOL.pdf.

Hopefully, this is the last message. Did you purchase these independently or from this company?

@chandria40

I’m 48 and can barely walk, have bowel movements, lift my arms up tendering me unable to work. Starting to not be able to even wear shoes…..So I keep seeing all these posts of people over 80 working out 5 or more days a week. I do not understand. It makes me wander if I have something else at times as this has completely debilitated my life

@chandria40 I am a member of the Facebook group listed on their website. We used to maintain a document with links on Facebook and ordered each supplement individually either through Amazon for the free shipping or the manufacturer's website. No one liked the number of capsules we had to take each day. The person that started the group had some contacts in a local pharmaceutical manufacturer in Florida and tossed the idea around with them of combining the different supplements we were taking into fewer capsules. A few years later the new product was released to the group and we had the same supplements combined into fewer capsules which has helped by not having to keep track of when to order the individual supplements because some of them had different quantities in the bottle. The cost is about $6/day. They are now working on a new version that puts all of the supplements into a powdered drink mix in individual packets you mix with a glass or bottle of water twice a day.

I was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy and Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2015 when I was 55 years old. I was declared 100 % disabled at the same time by Social Security and had to retire.
Think I have been to every kind of Doctor and have had every kind of procedure to correct my Balance,Walking, my Pain and sleepless nights! Nothing worked for all of the problems I had?
After I had used up all my physical therapy from Medicare I decided that I would have to do this on my own! I got a membership to my gym and I started going into training to make my body relearn everything I had lost! So I started going to the gym 3 days a week at 5 A.M. and doing the things I learned in physical therapy. I treated it like my JOB. I was also seeing a Pain Management Doctor during this whole thing and they monitored my progress and adjusted my medications the whole time. After seeing all these different miracle cures that claim everything and do nothing? I found out the only thing that really works is exercise and Pain Medication!!
After over 10 years of this I am as close to being normal as I will ever be. I am 66 years old now and I play golf 3 days a week (Walking) and go to my gym 2 days a week at 5 A.M. and I take Gabapentin,Methocarbamol and Hydrocodone every day under my doctors care.
This will be what I have to continue to do for the rest of my life or until they find a cure for these
diseases? These are the hard facts that do work. It can be verified by my Doctors. I hope this helps someone?

Like you at 82 was diagnosed with sensory idiopathic neuropathy and all docs could do was prescribe gabapentin or Lyrica. I took Lyrica and had so much fatigue I could hardly walk so I said "no" I will put up with the pins and needles than be so tired and be in bed all day. I searched this website and found that alpha lipoic acid really helped and a professional grade of B complex I bought at the acupuncture. It is 80 to 90% better. I wrote a note to my primary care dr about what I did and posting here to help other people. I do not have diabetes but my symptoms were the same as if I did have it. I bought the brand Source Naturals that the store recommended as they take it too. It works better if you take it on an empty stomach for at least 30 minutes. I hope this helps you so you dont have to take those awful pills. Good luck. It takes a few weeks to work so dont get discouraged.

@chandria40 I use this same group of supplements. I have had good results for quite a long time. There are occasional incidents in my wrists and feet but they seem to settle each time. I find heat and humidity are usually the triggers.

Try Aloha Lipoic Acid if you haven’t yet. .. for nerve pain in your feet. … capsules 600 mg as directed. It has helped though I my feet have other issues besides nerve pain and shoes and socks are problematic .. I’ve found some fabric slippers with rubber soles that aren’t as binding to wear around the house. Hope this helps you.
