I have neuropathy in both feet. It began in 2007. No cause is known. Tests show it has not severely progressed but overtime it became worse for me. I began Gabapentin in 2020 and I take 400 mg of alpha lipoic acid each day at my neurologist’s suggestion. I have also found a calming effect using Biofreeze over the counter. I can have some pain as well as numbness. But I feel my feet are now fairly calm. Gabapentin made them stop “talking” to me constantly.
I basically try to think it is not the worst thing a person could have. On rare occasions I take an approximately ver tge counter genetic pain relief at night.
