i have had peripheral neuropathy for years and restless legs for 10 yrs before. I take restoril for the legs and and lortab for neuropathy and arthritis. its the best over all treatment I have had. But having said that I am retired and have a secondary life having changed my life style as per my nueurologist and I use heated blankets on my legs and feet. I also have burning mouth syndrome (a neurological problem) and that resonds to the pain pill better than anything else I've tried-not encouraging, I'm sorry.

@rabbit10 yes I have the unsteadiness and several other problems including Alzheimer's, and seizures. I was hit by lightening about 30 years ago and start having issues just the past 5 years. I am now disabled. I rub my legs really hard for about 10 minutes each several times a day along with the meds, elevation, stretching. I just started the rubbing and it really seems to help, sleeping lot better. Keeping fingers crossed. hope I did this right, not computer active.

Welcome to the thread. Sorry to hear about your problem but you have a lot of company. Finding any relief for severe neuropathy is difficult so its good that you have a couple of tools that help. This is unsubstantiated mind you but alpha lipoid acid is used a lot in Europe supposedly with some success. As with all supplements it is not FDA approved for that purpose.

How were you struck by lightning 30 years ago?
watching a storm from inside my house in front of patio doors, lighting hit the ground bounced to the glass, hit me!

1 ReactionNever heard of this but will research, Thanks
Are you ok? We have lots of lighting in Florida. Love to watch by the window!
Live in Colorado, we also have heat lighting and a lot of it. Nope do not watch, I shut curtains.
We are moving to Colorado at end of month. Hope my painful nerve pain gets break. Here in Florida, it feels "hot" on my legs. Cool is better.
