Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy

Low-level laser therapy. At present, they are discussing it for Diabetics. Results are still inconsistent. Do your homework and watch for trials. They will eventually perfect it. It is good to know things are being worked on. RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. Always get your information from reputable medical centers. Stay in touch with Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and John Hopkins. Stay away from chiropractors that claim they have a cure!!!! If you are younger ( I am 82) have faith. Start on Google get familiar with it then consistently call the major centers to find out if they have trials.
We are all suffering so badly. Just so you know I have been cleared for medical marijuana There has been progress with that but be sure you speak to a pharmacist at a dispensary, not a salesperson about the different strains and starting levels. It is a tuff journey here also as getting the right strain and dosage level is not an easy task. Costly as well but here in Pennsylvania prices have come down. A pharmacist makes a 30-minute appointment with you to start. You have to be cleared by a physiatrist then you get your card from the state of Pennsylvania which costs $50.00. The card is good for one year and then you can renew but you have to return to the physiatrist. This marijuana is medical marijuana, not the one that makes you high. Not the oil pill form.
The best to you always,
Vicki

This is a reply to Barrye and Tomkipp and all nondiabetic neuropathy suffers. Recently (5 days ago) I was put on Naltrexone 3mg. This drug has shown promising results with very few side effects. The drug is being used off-label for pain and inflammation. In large doses, it is used for alcoholics. I DO NOT DRINK AT ALL. Your doctor of Internal medicine writes the prescription. You can only get it at a Compounding Pharmacy. I have that kind of pharmacy near me here in the Lehigh Valley Pennsyvaliana. The name of the pharmacy is Dorneyville Compounding Pharmacy. The pharmacist is Rich. He is very knowledgeable. Do your research and do not spend thousands of dollars on all the rip-off cures and chiropractors, foot doctors, expensive machines, etc. We all know there is no cure we simply want relief that works. So for now I am taking this drug. I am also waiting for my appointment to get recertified for medical marijuana. This is a long process here in PA. You have to get a patient clearance from a physiatrist. That is sent to the state of PA then you pay $50.00 dollars for the card that is good for one year. You then go to a PA Dispensary. Only talk to a pharmacist not a salesperson at our dispensary you are given a 30-minute appointment with a pharmacist.
The process is long to get the correct strain of marijuana and the cost can be very high. Though prices have come down a bit here in PA. I have tried this for another condition years ago and it did not work. I do not know yet if I can take marijuana with the new drug I am on Naltrexone. I certainly want to give this a chance.
The Best to everyone !
