I was diagnosed with (idopathic) peripheral neuropathy 18 years ago. I would truly LOVE to give you a positive report with possible solutions, but I have not found any to date. I, initially was prescribed Gabapentin. It did NOT help, but I was urged to stick with it, because it might take time. I stuck with it for at least 3 years, without better results. My insurance would not approve Lyrica. After about 3 years, I developed mild hives. At that point, insurance approved Lyrica. Lyrica did not provide any improvement. Without any results/improvements, I discontinued Lyrica (saved $$). PN has become more painful. At this point, the pain and burning sensation is constant. Nothing makes any improvement at all. I was diagnosed with Neuroendocrine Cancer (primary, small intestine, with mets to liver, pancreas & lymph) in August 2022. The PN causes more pain/discomfort than the cancer. I hope you will find a solution.

I agree! I’m trying the 5% lidocaine patches and 5% Numb Master cream tonight
