Has anyone tried Capsaicin (Qutenza) for neuropathy in their feet?

I wrote about this before and noticed that it got no response but I have to tell you, Qutenza has made a significant impact on my neuropathy. Now I have only a little tingling, NO pain or burning.
I strongly believe it's worth asking your doctor about it as a possible solution for you.

From anyone interested, here's a bit more information https://www.drugs.com/qutenza.html
"Qutenza patches contain capsaicin. Capsaicin is the active ingredient in chili peppers that makes them hot. Qutenza patches are used to treat nerve pain (neuralgia) in people who have had herpes zoster, or "shingles." Qutenza patches are also used to treat nerve pain (neuralgia) associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) of the feet."
Qutenza patches must be applied by a healthcare professional.
Sabrina, how often does your doctor apply the patches?
