Hi Sara @shomeier1, I see that it's been awhile since you last posted and would like to welcome you back to Connect. I'm sorry to hear you are not getting any relief for your neuropathy pain. It sounds like you have increased your gabapentin dosage over the last 5 years but it doesn't seem to be helping. It's easy to get discouraged when you are in pain and I'm hoping you will find something that provides more relief. There are a lot of complementary or alternative treatments that some have found helpful. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a lot of information that may be helpful here https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Have you looked into any complementary or alternative treatments?

Hi Sara,
I have severe neuropathy for the last 4 years. The constant lightning strikes throughout my legs subsided a bit but still live with the discomfort and pain especially my feet. I have the painful walking conditions and feet remain numb including tingling. I am unable to be bare footed. The doctors, specialist, neurologist, etc.. are unable to cure the condition. I spent thousands and thousands of dollars but they are unable to cure it only provide gabapentin, juniva, etc... I spent days, months, years to find better solutions even other countries but unfortunately I am unable to locate any support. I have ordered a number for creams, etc.. throughout the internet but I always have to return the items. I will not spend another dime on doctor appointments. Now, I do buy cans of vapor rub to help with the relief but its only temporary. I pay approx. $30 a week. I am exhausted buying other creams, meds, which do not work. It is sad that we can place a man on the moon but NO cure for neuropathy. I adopted a German Shepherd dog for encouragement and we walk 4 times a week which tends to help more so than before.
Good luck !
