John - I' ve been taking Nature Brand magnesium 500 mg daily for about 2 years and haven't noticed any difference. My primary doc suggests I take mag daily. Did you notice a reduction in pain or numbness?
NJ Ed, Magnesium is just one piece of the supplements puzzle that I take for my neuropathy (numbness and tingling only, no pain). Initially after 2 months of taking all of the supplements back in 2016 it does seem like it has stopped or slowed the progression. It feels about the same as it was then and no worse, so that's a win in my mind.
If it helps reduce the pain and/or numbness, I would definitely continue taking it, especially if your doctor is good with it.
I 've had neuropathy in my feet since i had chemo for breast cancer. My oncologist at the time told me to take magnesium L-threonate. I bought some on Amazon. I had stopped taking it because it gave me diarrhea. I figured I'd try again. I have had some diarrhea, but I figured I'd just treat the diarrhea and use the magnesium. A few days ago, I noticed I had feeling in my afflicted left hand again. Last night I got out of the shower , walked to my room and felt something was odd. I realized I was feeling the cushiness and texture of the carpet under my feet! My big hope is maybe I will improve enough to drive again. I'll be 81 in October.
I also have been using the new VoxxLife patches for my balance and they definitely help.
Plus, I started taking liquid quinine and my leg cramps completely stopped. Before they affected me sitting, bending and trying to sleep. I'm a a retired RN and I love researching ways to "fix" myself.
I need some help due to a procedure that I’m having Monday and very scared. I’m having a bladder sling and a Colpocleisis! Any soothing information would be appreciated

John, I did look at the info for the Protocol 525 and I'm currently taking most of the items listed and have for years. There are 2 that are not part of my daily supplements. I see my primary in about 60 days, I'll double check with her on the two I'm not currently taking. I have the same as you no pain, just numbness. You are 100% right, a win is to have neuropathy slow down let alone stabilize. My understanding is that axonal sensory motor PN tends to kind of get to a point and slow down. Supplements no doubt are effective provided we don't exceed the dosages which I've cleared with my primary doc. As always, thanks for all your help and knowledge! Ed

I'm through with my problems with breast cancer for now (knock on wood) except for the neuropathy I was left with. I have had excellent help with the VoxxLife patches, particularly the Liberty one. It has helped with my balance and the pain in my feet. I sold two of my friends on it also. I mean my suggestions to try, worked for them too.
I wish you all the best and hope your procedures make you feel a lot better!
Hi @runnergirl, I take magnesium 400mg daily as part of my supplements. I'm not familiar with magnesium infusions but have read information that they are helpful for chronic pain which I think would include idiopathic neuropathy since it could fall under the umbrella of chronic pain. I was not able to find other members discussing magnesium infusions for neuropathy but hopefully some who my have tried it will share their experience. Here's some information I found that may be helpful.
