Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Good Afternoon! I have been dealing with pn since 2009, when my immune system went cold and I got shingles. Mine feels as if a collection of mice have been dipped in hot sauce and wrapped in barbed wire and let loose under my skin. Very little seems to alleviate the pain, which in my case is heavily dependent upon the weather. I notice that you began writing in April - have you come across anything to share with us??

Everybody's experience is a little different with this syndrome so there isn't going to be a magic bullet. In my case the intensity of the pain tapered off as the nerves apparently died off, or it stopped progressing. You might check online for sites that are specific to PN like https://www.foundationforpn.org/ Also, some major clinics and universities like the University of Chicago and the Cleveland Clinic have sites that discuss it. There is unlikely to be an quick fix although everybody wants the same thing, a cheap over-the-counter solution. As far as over-the-counter stuff, alpha lipoid acid might help some, but everything has side effects. In my case, I just keep walking, mostly to steady my gait. Hope this helps.
