Has Anyone Tried Chinese Herb Therapy?

I comment here and there, but mostly, I complain. My Idiopathic Neuropathy gets worse all the time...
I learned a hard lesson the other day, so I want to pass it on as a warning. I went out and was in a restaurant, corner booth in cold weather waiting for my friends to come. They were a little late ( bit deal), but the Birthday celebration was almost two hours. My feet started to "burn/freeze", hurt, but I tried to ignore it. The pain went up my calves for the first time. When we finally left, I tried to warm them up when I got home. Maybe I should have soaked my feet in warm water, or done SOMETHING DIFFERENT!. It was like I opened a door to another level of pain!! SINCE THEN, MY PAIN HAS WORSENED, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RELIEF. A word to the wise: Take care of yourself. Do not let your pain get out of hand if you can help it. I learned a hard lesson. Winter is the WORST for me. Does anyone use electric socks in this group?

I'm sorry for you...Yes...this winter was horrible for me. My neuropathy also progressed in 3-4 years...probably Covid vaccine induced neuropathy. I've received 5 of them! I walk outdoors in my slippers all the time, can't put any shoe on! Numbness and stiffness during night (I can sleep well fortunately for now) progresses into pressure (on the feet in the morning), pins and needles, and after short walk outddors into stubbing and pain...standing and walking (every single step) adds more pain, in warm indoor spaces overheating of the nerves... After the afternoon naps horrible electric pins and needles. Barely can do basic chores at home, and walk few blocks around the building for groceries...
Remedies that help:
1. Lidocain cream (worls an hour)
2. Castor oil with the eucaliptus oil as a base
3. Capsaicin cream, helps but can cause overheating of the nerves...
4. THC tincture, stil experimenting with it. Definetely helps with the pain (2x5mg) helps for hours...but gets you "high" and slows you down. Will see the cannabis rehab doctor today for proper dosing.
