Hi @vicjfaoro1, I know it must be difficult watching your son suffer from neuropathy and not know how to help. Although there is no cure, there is a lot of hope for finding something that helps to relieve the symptoms. Two of the best sites I've found that will help you learn more about the condition and different symptoms are:

-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - Treatments: https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview

Are you able to share a little more about your son's neuropathy diagnosis and any treatments he's tried?

Thank you for this great info. My son with the poly neuropathy is a chef so not eating regularly and balanced for ten years probably hasn’t helped. Just diagnosed in January when he fell down 12 steps and crushed his clavicle. Has only had an EMG test, which I’m thinking he should have more? He had had cold feet and hands for two years prior. Any suggestions on testing? Perhaps small snacks of good things throughout the day?
