Going to clinic tomorrow- why are the doctors hesitant to prescribe this for long time sufferers of idiopathic neuropathy?

@patriciaschulz1950 the FDA will not allow the pharmaceutical company to do clinical trials for neuropathy. They allowed trials for diabetic neuropathy, and those are in progress now. My doctor was willing to prescribe it “off label”. But only my PCP. My neurologist, rheumatologist and pain doctor are waiting for it to be approved for chronic use.
