Small Fiber Neuropathy: What helps?

I went to a neurologist at UT. He was very nice, and took some blood tests, but he told me that neuropathy can not be cured. I don't want to believe that, I feel that there has to be a cure.
I have neuropathy due to chemo treatments. My feet are not numb, but I have constant tingling in my feet. It never goes away! Feels as though I am walking on small sand or small peebles.

Welcome @vbreneman, I don't think any of us want to believe it can't be cured but then reality sets in. We may not be able to have a cure but we can hopefully find something that helps to treat the symptoms. For me, preferrably without drugs. You might find the following discussions helpful:

Have you finished with the chemo treatments?
