@jaytress: You have found that Neuropathy has many topical creams that offer temporary relief of discomfort. Some have chosen serious pain pills that allow a LaLa existence and prime them towards reliance on drugs. I know many will tout that drugs are wonderful, so it is a personal decision how you want to treat Neuropathy.
Personally, I have had Neuropathy for 40 years and never found a cure; there is only temporary relief. I have altered my mobility and expectations of activity, but topical creams, patches and general exercise have allowed me to have a good quality of life.
There are so many ailments worse and pain much more intense than Neuropathy, as I have learned in my 81 years.
I hope a cure will be found and I will be the first to applaud our wonderful, brilliant medical researchers! Best health to you!

Oh, there’s hope. We can see others who have the same experience and who are smiling through it all.

Many people like us have this and worse on top of this. Kinda like me. I have pain from different conditions all day, every day.

I am working on getting my mind off it all by focusing on jigsaw puzzles, painting 🖼️, building my family tree, and doing what I can to help others who are like myself.

We need to do a gratitude list for ourselves at least once a week.
That will be our way.
