Hello @lenaybrown, it is frustrating not knowing what to do when you have neuropathy symptoms along with other conditions. I started my journey on Connect looking for treatments for neuropathy back in 2016 but I've had the numbness for more than 20 years before deciding to get a diagnosis which turned out to be idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. Much to my dismay all of my searching has led me to learn there is no cure for neuropathy but there are many different treatments that may help. The key word is "may" help, since everyone is different.

It sounds like cold feet and/or shooting vibrations and hot pains are the main symptoms you are looking for what helps. There are a couple of discussions that might be helpful:
-- Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help:

-- Burning feet and legs:

One thing that helped me was finding reliable information on neuropathy symptoms, causes, and treatments plus reliable research information. My two favorite sites are:
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/

Has your doctor given you any suggestions for what may help?
