Hi John, No I do not have pain with my neuropathy but rather the tingling and numbness. Some days I am fine, others I want to scratch the wall. I am currently taking 150 mg Lyrica 2x day. My primary is willing to up the dose, but I am getting along in years and I don't want to sleep my life away. I would love to get off the LYRICA since I have been on it for 10 years but I am afraid to do it. I read your post and referred connection. Still not sure what the OTC protocol is that helped you. I have found a product called "Magnilife DB Pain Relieving Foot Cream" in the pharmacies or on line. It has a green and yellow label and found in the foot cream sections at most pharmacies. It works for me when my feet are screaming at me for some relief. Online the cost is $14.99; at pharmacies $19.99. Most of the foot creams, including horse liniment, that were advised to me burned my skin. this one does not, and it works immediately. I finally went to a Neurologist yesterday and she advised me there was nothing that could be done except more painful testing. And then it would only confirm my neuropathy, not tell me what was causing it or how to cure it, in fact she said there was no cure. She called it Idiopathic perifial neuropathy, which means .....well you figure it out. That is exactly what my primary called it, only he went one step further and called a spade, a spade. IDIOPATHIC. jr
