Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

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

Yes, with pretty painful foot and leg sores. Was recently placed on an antibiotic and pain meds which hopefully won't clash with Metformin, Glipizide, Lisinopril , Atorvastatin & Alendronate. Can't handle Gabapentin! Ordered 3 bottles of Stonehenge Nerve capsule which did nothing to help, canceled. What else to do? Ouch

@blowerk1216 I had been on 300 and 600 both did little to help I now take 1800mg of gabapentin a day helps a little for me at least it helps me walk steadier and helps my hands more my neuropathy was from severe vitamin deficiency after a Bariatric surgery not diabetes or any other condition started when I was 33 they my neurologist likes it better for me due to my epilepsy I take 1500mg of keppra and gabapentin also helps seizures I now mines more of a tailored approach for my conditions not sure if that helps in your situation

Yes I’ve had it in both feet for 26yrs & seen at least 25-30 doctors even had exploratory surgery on one foot & no help!! CT ‘s & MRI’s & Nerve Conduction Studies off the charts & no one has ever helped me. I take lots of Vitamin 6 because I read where it helps but not feeling any different so far.

Please do your research about B6, as too much of it can CAUSE neuropathy! B12 is the B vitamin that helps. This website - neuropathyresource.com — has lots of verified information about supplements, as well as a ton of good information about causes and what works, what is still unclear and what definitely makes it worse.
