Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I have been diagnosed with diabetes II approximately 5 years ago and then peripheral neuropathy started three years ago. The peripheral neuropathy symptoms begun with the numbness, tingling with the toes then feet as it grew to calves, thighs and hips. As of today, I am unable to feel feet and need to intake sleep pills for help fall asleep with the pain and nerve lightning strikes from feet to hips..

And far as doctors and specialist, I am only told to maintain my diabetes to help relieve the pain which is total misleading and dishonest. After many researched articles, I have found peripheral neuropathy is NOT curable as its nerve damage throughout the body.

I hope this answers your question.

Michael

Thanks Michael, Well you are not alone. Other members have shared their experience in another discussion here:

The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy had a webinar last September that you might find helpful.
