Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

@paulfj067 Just a little something to remember. Every bit of whatever that creates neuropathy attacks a different part of the nerve network. There is no one thing that will deal with it all, and a lot of stuff out there that will do no good. And all manner of stuff from diabetes to several thousand types of amyloidosis, and chemicals and heat and allergies that cause it, and each has its own pattern. The best thing you can do generally is to relax, take it easy, and do your own research.

Hi @oldkarl and @paulfj067 - What Old Karl said is a really good thing to remember. Add to that we are each different in what works and what doesn't work probably related to all the other things mentioned. Doing your own research is key - and sharing it with your Connect friends is also key for us! There are a lot of folks, companies, etc. making money off of different neuropathy "fixes" which are of dubious value. Some good places to review when making decisions on what to try or not to try...
