Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

For me the worst part is the Restless legs. For most people it's just at night, but when I got the Neuropathy in my hands and feet, that's when the RLS started off and on in January, by February it was constant and I had to get the Lyrica from my pain Doctor my Neurologist didn't even prescribe it. He sent me for labwork to check my Iron, and I went to the lab in pain only to find out that he forgot to put down the test they check for Iron so I had to go again. It turned out that my iron levels were good, but he prescribed Iron anyway. I've heard and read that it's not good to take Iron if your levels are good.

@archermac15, @johnbishop and all...
I just had last month 2 iron infusions, since my iron FERROUS level was at 15 1 year ago, 27 this year after a year of iron supplement w/C. My sleep doc tested the ferrous level re sleep apnea and severe RLS.
Ferrous needs to be at 75+ per doc to help w/ RLS.

Now, it's 88! Highest probably in many years . No RLS. I also take Requip at bedtime. It helps a lot with RLS, PN, and daytime Parkinsons symptoms. Taking iron supplement now.

I haven't had this kind of intern energy, from inside not forced mentally...for years. I'm a very different version of myself now. Soooo thankful.

Be sure the doc cks your FERROUS level. My hemocrit and hemoglobin are always perfect! 12, 13...ferrous level test is a special test, not usually included in bloodwork.
Wishing you we. This has changed my whole life, and outlook on life.

Hoping this helps...blessings on this journey...elizabeth
