Seems the B vitamins help the most for painful neuropathy, in order they are. B-6 #1, B-12 #2, B-1 #3. But there are different forms of each. Check Nerve Doctors on You Tube. Neuropathy Pain is like s ghost, the way it affects your body, it comes in many forms, from burning to stinging to pin pricking and on it goes. Mine caused by anti-biotics, chemotherapy and radiation.
Got CIPN five years ago. I may now have some other type of neuropathy in addition to CIPN, possibly enteric neuropathy (GI tract). Started getting foot drop a few months ago, now am getting hand drop. I am in head to toe distress all day until I can get to sleep. Doing what I can with limited resources but my condition seems to be rapidly deteriorating. Looking for a courage pill or a nervous system transplant (🤒). Details are in my posts.
I take Duloxetine for anxiety, but it's also good for neuropathy. I also take Gaba pentin 600mg before bed along with a good strong hit on some weed! It makes me forget about the burning and numbness of my feet. They feel pretty good in the morning and most of the day until late night...that's when I take the same thing as before!

Thank you. I need all of the help I can get. You would think with all of the medical advancements they could figure this out.
Thanks,
