Who else has Autonomic Neuropathy?

@dipperlip1, I'm sorry to hear the neuropathy has gotten worse after 2 years. From what I've read B6 toxicity induced neuropathy can resolve in 6 months but it may depend on how long the B6 levels were high in your system. Here's some information on the topic.
"Neuropathy from massive exposures can cause long-term disability or death. Neurologic dysfunction improves following discontinuation of vitamin B supplementation and usually resolves within six months. Jan 10, 2022" --- Vitamin B6 Toxicity: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554500/
The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy lists some alternative or complementary treatments for neuropathy -- https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/
Have you looked into any alternative or complementary treatments?

John, thank you so much for the information. I will check out the sites you gave me. Right now I am taking Alpha Lipoic Acid 500 mg. daily even tough I do not have diabetes. Been taken it for some time, so far not much change. I do watch what I eat. Lots of fruit, vegetables and whole grain. Try to stay away from sugar. Kind of difficult since I still have to cook for my husband and he is a pasta and potato man. Not much meat. I can deal with the neuropathy during the day but is bad a night. Bottom of feet and knees feel hot. I take 400 mg. of Gabapentin at bedtime and rub Aspercream with Lidocaine on my feet. It helps for a couple of hours. I would like to mention that I also suffer from Erythromelalgia, was diagnosed by Mayo's in 2006 and also Raynauds. I am seeing another Neurologist on June 6th just for a 2nd opinion. Thanks again for the info.
