Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy

I too am suffering from nondiabetic neuropathy. NO ANSWER anywhere just physicians pushing all sorts of drugs with huge side effects especially if you are older like me (82years young) I have been everywhere done everything and spent a fortune with false hopes. Tons of tries with physical therapy that made me worse not better as I have age degenerative meniscus tears and osteoarthritis in the knees not operable as I do not have bone on bone. So I am now being approved for Medical Marijuana. This road will take a long time to get the proper strain and dose level at a great cost. It is not a cure but if the level eventually becomes correct it will reduce the pain level. That is all I can ask for. There is a new therapy hopefully coming on the market after more trials it is low laser therapy. It is an interesting read. So for the younger people on this site, there is hope on the horizon. GOd BLess you all

I am with you although I will be 91 this month. I have had the non diabetic PN for about six years. As you say nothing works. I just quit physical therapy as it made matters worse. I will keep looking!

Hi
What is the "new therapy" that you noted?

Yes, I am definitely one of the older ones at 86. However this condition often limits me as to how much physical work I can do. The rest of my body is still willing and able to do my yard work, and we do have a large yard. I will also be looking into CBD oil! Good luck with yours and let us know how it goes.
