Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

Hi,
I try to be proactive with my neuropathy. I do walk every night about a mile with my two Bernese Mountain Dogs. This undertaking is a full body workout, bunnies. I also do foot yoga at least once a week, and if I do not do a foot massage every night, my feet yell at me in the morning. I try to do a foot massage in the morning too! I also have cut back on sugar and know when I have had too much. For the most part I drink 60 to 80 ounces of water a day. Around my IVig days I double that. I also stretch, exercise, and lift weights. I did not do all of my routine for a week, as a result of finding new ways to challenge my doctors and boom, the neuropathy is back with a vengeance! I am getting back to the routine, as the alternative is pain. I also try to sleep on my side, so there is as little pressure as possible on the nerves in my feet.

My doctor has me sleeping with a large pillow between my legs and that has been a huge improvement while I sleep on my side.
