I have had foot neuropathy since a severe frostbite injury two years ago. I take 1500 mg (5 300 mg) and it will a very helpful. I am a well known musician and writer and have just developed right hand alcoholic neuropathy. as a piano guitarist and percussionist I just quit alcohol cold Turkey. That was brutal but my music and writing matter more. I will be in touch with my physician in Minneapolis to be seen soon and discuss both new vitamin regimens and maybe increased gabapentin

Hi @zannman, Welcome to Connect. I don't have the pain with my neuropathy only some numbness and some tingling in the feet. I shared my story and what has helped me in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.

You mentioned contacting your physician soon to discuss a new vitamin regimen and maybe increasing the gabapentin. You might be interested in the list of supplements that help with nerve damage that is on the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy website here:

Hoping you find some relief soon. Can you give us an update after you talk with your doctor?
