Neuropathy treatments: How to avoid scams?

I had a reaction to gabapentin. Dr. Changed to amitriptyline. It made the burning pain go away and I can sleep at night. I'm not 100% but way better than with gabapentin. Hope you find some relief.

Hi John - 6 years ago they did an EMG and saw Severe Axonal Sensorimotor Peripheral Neuropathy, then did the standard checklist of autoimmune and cancer bloodwork and found nothing, do the label Idiopathic was added. I have never had an MRI or skin biopsy, as it’s believed they wouldn’t add any useful information on diagnosis or treatment. The Gabapentin prescription is pretty much the only assistance I get from Neurologist, though sometimes they check my basic arm and length strength, and see if I still don’t have knee/elbow reflexes. The Gabapentin I take comes in a 800mg tablet, and I try to keep them 8 hrs apart. I’m lucky that pain, when it comes, it isn’t a 10, it’s can get to 5 or 6, just enough to know it’s not comfortable and you can’t take your mind off if it, so the medicine can make you maintain at a 0 to 2 all day every day if I’m on a good spell. But if my fingers/toes get cold, that’s the worst type of pain a heating bag and gloves couldn’t cure - the iciness was bone deep, so helpless. That’s the biggest help from Gabapentin for me; it has made those episodes much less frequent and more tolerable when I get a little. Heat like you’re experiencing also happened with me, but to a lesser extent. I can’t avoid the outside temperatures, and I guess it’s because I don’t sweat that makes it tough for me, but it was worse before Gapapentin.

Hey RB, Watch out with the D3. I had an N Dr . say to add the D3 and then I changed Drs and when he did my blood work my D3 was at a toxic level. I beleive the D3 toxic level can affect your NP also but doen't take my word for it.

Anyone has any success with Vita Soothe Pro

I heard about it today and want to get some feedback before I buy this

Hello @lorie99, Welcome to Connect. It seems to be yet another "nerves" pill to get your $$. Couldn't find any legitimate research on it but the ingredients do show a few of the ones listed that may help on the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy website at the end of this list - https://www.foundationforpn.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Complementary-and-Alternative-Treatments-Revised-2020-final.-1.pdf.

I did find an older press release on the product that gives me a little more doubt since it seems it was formulated to "relieve chronic inflammation of the nerves". So how does it help if that is not what is causing your neuropathy pain? Just my own thoughts though and others may feel differently.

"VitaSoothe Pro is created to ease chronic inflammation that damages the nerves. It targets a special enzyme called MMP-13 and saves from inflammatory damage."

I have been taking Vita Soothe Pro for about 8 weeks and their is a distinct improvement in my peripheral neuropathy, their is less pain in my legs and the electric shocks are now rare. They do say it may take some time for it to have an effect and that has been the case with me. For what it is worth I am in Australia, so it even works down here! I am hoping for a continuing improvement, as we all know some days are diamonds and some are stones and that is still the case with me, but, touch wood, there is an improvement.

Has anyone ever used nerve Savior and it worked. Is it a scam??
