I've had peripheral neuropathy for 25+ years in both legs that was mis-diagnosed as gout, Eventually I was sent to a neurologist 3 years ago who checked my reflexes and hands at last and sent my blood in for many tests. He immediately put me on alpha lipoic acid (ALA) which is a prescription medicine in Europe but OTC in the USA. In 3 weeks I started to get relief. I then switched brands from Jarrow to Pure Encapsulations which is much more expensive but gave me much more relief. It took 1 year before the big toe was pain free and the burning sensations disappeared. Up until last week, other then crunchy toes and not as much feeling in my fingers, I've been free of pain.

Last week I started a cancer drug, Letrozole, and had to stop in 3 days because it completely aggravated and extended my neuropathy. I'm seeing a new neurologist since mine retired and will report back.
