Hello @notborntoburn, welcome to Connect. I'm glad you found this group where you can share your symptoms, ask questions and learn what others are doing for treatments. 12 years is indeed a long journey trying to find something that helps with your neuropathy. I've had neuropathy 20+ years but I don't have the pain. I only have numbness with mine. I waited until a few years ago to get diagnosed and I was diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. I posted my story earlier on Connect here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-dealing-with-peripheral-neuropathy/?pg=42#comment-65985

Can I ask what type of neuropathy you have and other treatments you've tried?

I have PN no specific cause,it was first treated as restless legs about 12yrs ago. I began the route of Lyrica,Cymblata,Neurotin,all the antidepressants,neurological medications,alcohol injections between the toes(that was really fun!)acupuncture,surgery for nerve compression. There is nothing, no vitamins,herbs,lotions,potions, walking that stops it but I just will not trying!
