Hi @bcool123, Neuropathy definitely is a bummer with no cure as @artscaping can confirm. I think the best we can hope for until a cure comes along is to find something that provides relief from the symptoms of neuropathy. I have a couple of websites that I try to keep an eye on for research information. The first one Neuropathy Commons is really good for learning more about neuropathy to give you a better understanding of what you are facing. The second one is The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy which I like because they try to stay on top of newest research and have a good section on complementary and integrative therapies for neuropathy. The other one I use to see if there are any new information on specific treatments is Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) because you can easily sort the results by the year and it

-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/research/

Example: Google Scholar search using "latest developments in the field +neuropathy" --- https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2021&q=latest+developments+in+the+field+%2Bneuropathy&hl=en&as_sdt=0,24

There is also a good older discussion here on Connect on How to Avoid Quacks and Snake Oil Treatments: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-to-avoid-quacks-and-snake-oil-treatments/. Then there are a couple of sites I use if I happen to be looking at something that I think may be too good to be true 🙂

FDA's Health Fraud Page

NIH's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) which offers guidance about integrative health and how to evaluate it.

@bcool123 You mentioned in an earlier post that your feet and toes get cold. My feet and especially the toes get cold in the winter living here in Minnesota. I found some neoprene toe sleeves that work really well to keep the heat in the front part of the foot, but I only use them in the winter time -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076B3VTRM/

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll keep this post for winter time when I’m sure I’ll need them with my tile kitchen floors…
