What do people do for chronic neuropathic pain?

LDN. I have severe axonal sensory motor Polyneuropathy with major muscle wasting in my lower legs. I need a motorized chair when I leave the house.
I have numbness and vibrating parathesias in my legs and sometimes hands. And also occasional nerve zaps. But no pain.
I’ve been on Low Dose Naltrexone (3mg) for 11 years. All my neurologists have tried to give me Gabapentin but I don’t need it.
Here’s an article explaining how LDN is effective for neuropathic pain. It may not help everyone but I will never go off it.

@db72 Hi there - I have had sensory idiopathic neuropathy with pins and needles and burning but 90% better because I take alpha lipoic acid 600 mg once a day and the brand name is Source Naturals - got it at the healthfood store here. It takes a week or two but my dr did not tell me about it - all he wanted to give me was Lyrica or gabapentin which were horrible - the fatigue even on the lowest dose was awful. I think it wouldn't hurt to try it - just a supplement and wont hurt you - the owner of the healthfood store takes it too. Hope you feel better soon.
