Frankincense and Myrrh for Neuropathy pain

@athenalee and @paulalbert, My feet are still numb but they don't feel quite as bad as they were when I first started this journey back in 2016 after 20+ years of letting it progress because I could not find any topicals that helped and there are no drugs that help with the numbness. After I started taking the protocol of supplements it took a little over 2 months until my legs and feet started feeling a little better and it seemed to have slowed or stopped the progression up the legs. That was the end of 2016 and it's pretty much stayed the same since with the exception of the past few months I have started to gain a little tingling and can feel my toes more. The numbness is still there but it feels a little better than before. The past 2 years I've also added started rubbing moisturizer lotion on my feet and legs and I'm sure that has helped also. Keeping the skin moist helps due to the nerves being close to the skin. Exercise and walking are also really important but my walking is limited and I mostly use and exercise bike in the house. That's because I also have lower back issues. Just don't give up and work on finding something that provides relief and take it one day at a time!

Thanks for the link @johnbishop I made a post there. and read your story. I feel for ya man. I'm reading your advice and will take it to heart. Hey btw how does one "like" a post here? I don't see a like button. Again, I made a long post about my journey in the other forum so keeping this one short. Hang in there bud!

Thank you John. I always appreciate your insights and take notes! I can’t take all of the Protocol supplements you’ve mentioned as they can interact with my immunosuppressive meds. I add supplements one at a time to make sure they don’t increase my liver enzymes. I do take Omegas, Vit. D, Bs, C. I did start taking ALA a few months ago. I’m just starting ALC. So far the sharp pains don’t occur as often, unless I have to drive for a few hours. Numbness, tingling, and general pain continue to increase. But I remain hopeful.
