Thank you for replying to my email. I take 200mg. of
Coq10 daily but have not tried PQQ yet so I will give it a try. I also take 250MCG of B12 daily. For the neuropathy l am on Lyrica otherwise known as pregabalin 50MG 2 caps twice daily and Nortriptyline HCL 10 mg. , 4 caps at night. What do you use? My fingers always feel like bumps of little balls on the tops of them. It drives me crazy at times and my feet feel like I have soles on them in bed at night. I have to use the AFOs to walk in. I can’t stand or walk alone without them. It seems like all this just happened to me overnight and I do struggle to adjust to my new life at times.

I took Lyrica at first, but it only treats the pain, not the underlying neuropathy. I have some other health issues from Chemo, and drug interactions are a real concern for me. I wanted to get off some of these meds as soon as possible. I don’t have pain anymore from the neuropathy and that’s from the healing of the neuropathy. And while the neuropathy was the most painful of my side affects, my heart and lung issues are more serious. The PQQ is hard to find, as it’s not a common supplement. I found it on Amazon and have it on Subscription. 🤞
