I have burning in my feet. Tingling and stinging. And I think it is starting in my hands. Started with right foot but now the left and top as well as bottom. Feels crunchy when I flex my toes. Now the feeling is going up my legs. Half way to my knees. I goggle neuropathy and I get all these people swearing by this supplement and another. All wanting you to try their products. $40-50 a month. Who out there is having good results with a supplement I can get. I wouldn’t mind $50/month if I knew it worked. That’s why I’m on this chat room. Can anyone share ?

@danmardy44 - I don't think there is a simple answer for your question. I shared my story along with others on what has helped us in the discussion in my previous post here - — Member Neuropathy Journey Stories: What's Yours?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/member-neuoropathy-journey-stories-whats-yours/
You are right about the snake oil salesman on the Internet. They are out there wanting to take the money from anyone hurting with neuropathy and chronic pain. The best thing you can do is be your own advocate and learn as much as you can about a particular treatment, supplement or therapy. Here are a few links that can help you do that...
