Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

@pedie, I take supplements for my small fiber PN and I only have numbness of the feet and ankles for symptoms and no pain. Gabapentine only helps with the pain. You can read my story and what helps me in an earlier post on Connect here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-dealing-with-peripheral-neuropathy/?pg=42#comment-65985

Hopefully others can share what helps them also. You really have to do your own research on whatever you decide because there are a lot of companies out there making money off of people with neuropathy. The following article gives an overview of supplements that can help neuropathy but you should still discuss with your doctor before taking them.

Will check out the web site. My PN was caused by chemo and radiation. Just recently have been treated for an orphan autoimmune eye disease, so perhaps that aggravated the PN. I have a little pain at night, but mostly very poor balance (my brain doesn't know where my feet are) and the numbness. What supplements do you take? And what is small fiber PN?
