Hello John @jpooreprecious15, welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you have neuropathy caused by exposure to agent orange. You are not alone. We have other members who also have shared they have neuropathy from agent orange. Here's a search that links to the member posts - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/comments/.

Here are a few reference websites that have helped me learn more about neuropathy and how I can live better with it:
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - Living Well: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/
-- Western Neuropathy Association - Patient Toolkit:

What's the most difficult symptom for you to manage?

@jpooreprecious15 try 600 mg of alpha lipoic acid - brand name Source Naturals at nature store. Helped all of my pain 90% - once a day plus a good B-complex vitamin B - we lose B12 as we get old - I am 82 and your body will pee out what it doesn't need. Try it - nothing to lose - is very safe to take.
