I can fully appreciate all of your comments regarding neuropathy. No cause identified for mine! The numbness is so weird. I find it hard to sleep on my left side now. Numb but with pain down leg to foot! Yikes! I exercise in pool, take Tramadol sometimes and rub my feet with different creams. Menthol, frankincense and myrrh, and aromatherapy creams. Going to check into CBD at next appointment. Trying chair yoga this week. I just keep searching. Had a lot of health issues over years. One was breast cancer and had chemo - the red devil. I survived that and I am determined to beat and/or work with this too. Life is just to precious! Turn 70 in November! 😊

Hang in there! Pam

Hi Pam @flipflop52, Welcome to Connect. My neuropathy is idiopathic also and I have some numbness in the feet and legs but no pain. It is great to hear that you are still searching and hopefully you will find something that helps. There is no cure for neuropathy but there are many different treatments that provide some relief for most of the symptoms. Here are a couple of sites you might want to look at in your search to learn more about neuropathy and what others have found helpful.

-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/

You mentioned you had breast cancer with chemo treatments. There is a discussion you may find helpful --- Chemo-induced Peripheral Neuropathy and Breast Cancer: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/neuropathy-11/

Were you trying to find an answer for a question when you found Connect?

Good evening @flipflop52 and welcome to Connect. John has responded to your introductory post with some important resources. I also want to respond to your decision to check into CBD at your next appointment. I keep two topical balms developed by Papa and Barkley for my hands and feet. One is for acute pain, tingling, etc and it is a 1:3 CBD/THC compound dosage. The other is for more chronic pain and neuropathy irritants and it is a 3:1 CBD/THC compound.

This company has been my supplier for years. Their site is quite informative and they respond well to customer issues. Let me know if you have questions or concerns. http://www.papaandbarkley.com

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
