Unfortunately I don’t ever expect to feel well again, but I do think that diet, walking, supplements is certainly helping. The pain is usually tolerable with a low dose of Gabapentin, as long as I can sleep it’s manageable. I’m seeing a neuromuscular MD next month, so I’m hoping she may offer some insights.
Hopefully your neuropathy will improve. Stay strong, eating well, and walking!

I understand your feeling! I was struggling with unmanaged pain for years, until my primary sent me off to a pain management doc, who in turn sent me to a specialized PT. Long story short, after months of MFR, stretches and movement therapy, I came out the other side...not without pain, but manageable. In addition I gained a lot more self-awareness of my power over my body. Last week saw some days of unavoidable inactivity and long hours in the car, and the pain and spasms came roaring back. I have now spent 5 days getting things calmed down, this is the first day I am ready to walk and run errands.
So I have learned that exercise, therapy, and changes must become a way of life. There is no cure, only management. But it is totally worth it to have decent quality of life.
Good luck with your consult.
