I share a remarkably similar story. Symptoms improved for me with Lions mane, alpha lipoic acid and NAC. But still present but mild. Last night for first time terrible big toe pain, wondering if it is related to the paresthesia. Not gout. Another obstacle to maneuver…. All the best to you.
I'm sorry you're experiencing the same thing as me. My idiopathic peripheral neuropathy started in March of 22. It started 6 months after last covid vaccine. Went through all different supplements and vitamins. Gabapentin didn't do anything but make my feet swell and rash. I was prescribed amitriptyline and it definitely helps. I'm not 100%, but better than when I started. I have been to Mayo clinic for 2nd opinion. Loads of lab work, MRI, Emg, and biopsy. Emg abnormal but nothing has shown direct cause. I hope you find something that will bring you relief.
Hi @selene53, Neuropathy is definitely a bummer but hope is eternal for some treatment that will provide some relief. I shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.
There are a lot of different treatments that different people have found helpful for neuropthy symptoms including complementary and alternative ones. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a good list that you might find helpful here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/
Hoping you find some relief and better health in 2023.
