Idiopathic Polyneuropathy: My endless journey to a near-diagnosis …

I too am taking alpha lipoic tablets along with b vitamins. It's been several years of trying to get relief for my hands, legs and feet. I've tried leeches, a back stretching machine, acupuncture with electrical wires, and deep tissue massage. I am still doing acupuncture once a week and getting the massage once a week (he is amazing). The neuropathy also affects my gut so I have difficulty eating at times. I started taking cbd a few months ago, I'm not sure if anything is working but I'm not giving up. I don't have pain, but I am off balance and find it hard to walk. Good luck, maybe you'll find something new that works for you. JF

Good morning, Judith (@judithfraser000)
Thank you for your message. I have been taking alpha lipoic tablets, 600 mg, 2 x daily, along with a variety of B vitamins. So far my neuropathy is affecting only my feet, giving me my unreliable balance (some days worse than others). I don't have any pain, which sometimes puzzles my doctors. To a certain degree I attribute my unreliable walking to my severely flat feet (I've been wearing orthotics since the '80s), a prosthetic right knee, and a left knee that's got lots of arthritis (which my orthopedic doc says is not yet operable). So, neuropathy, compounded by other aches and pains.
Here's wishing you and me both some solutions in the coming months and years!
Cheers!
