You mentioned being diagnosed for neuropathy. Did the neurologist provide a specific diagnosis? Can you share a little more about your symptoms.

Thank you for your quick response! I was diagnosed with small nerve neuropathy. None of the physicians I've seen can pinpoint the cause however. I was experiencing itching, burning, stabbing, numbness in my feet and it was always random no matter what I did in a day. It is in my hands as well. Some days are better than others and I have a very carefree personality which indeed helps. My husband is a self-proclaimed physician so he is constantly seeking solutions. Phone calls with a "healer" that I've never met and lives states away is not the answer...
Reading that Rheumatoid Arthritis could be a contributing factor of which I do have along with a bad back. No diabetes and as mentioned in good health.
