Hi Jim, I never looked at a health food store for quality essential oils but I had never thought of that. I know a lady who sells these. But I have seen them on Amazon also. The brands I mentioned are pure with no water or fillers. You only need a couple drops in your lotion. They try to sell you “carrier oil or lotion” but I just use any kind from WalMart I have. Copaiba is less expensive and works great.

@aggie98 Do you see a pain specialist, Karen? I began treatment with my PCP, but he referred me to a neurologist who had more treatment options. Then, I started seeing a pain specialist, and he had a long list of medications that are usually indicated for other conditions but sometimes help neuropathy pain. We've come to the end of his list, where we landed on Imipramine, and it helps a little, along with morphine sulfate contin. I still have days with pain up to 8 or 9.

I also had 6 sessions with a pain therapist and I found a couple of things that I use when the pain is keeping me awake.

Jim
