Please be careful with the patches. I was on them for a year when I needed
to refill them. The pharmacy’s that are around us were all out. In two days
I went through DT. No a good experience! If you see you have a few let
please make sure you refill. I didn’t take it anymore because of what I
went through. What I’m on now don’t work as well, but good enough. I hope
you get the relief you need.

Hi – I’ve had peripheral neuropathy in my feet and now legs for a little over 10 years. I’m probably more fortunate than most since mine is mostly numbness and tingling and no sharp pains. My doctors had me on gabapentin for awhile but it did nothing for me and when I discussed it with a new doctor team I was told gabapentin is only for pain and not numbness. I had to have an ECS and MRI before I could meet with a neurologist. The tests confirmed I have nerve damage but we still don’t know the root cause. I have an appointment for May 2nd with the neurologist and I’m hoping to find out what type of neuropathy I have which may help when talking with other people with the same type of neuropathy who have found what works for them. Two excellent sources of information are the MN Neuropathy Association (http://www.neuropathy-mn.org/) and the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy (https://www.foundationforpn.org/).
Im glad it helps relieves your pain, I hate to know when someone goes through so much pain. An for the rest of you that is suffering. Ive live with pain most of my life, but not from the same illness, and I dont believe in the degree you suffer.I hope you want be afended if I tell you I will pray for you and the others who are suffering.I admire your stregth. Hang in there!
I would like to know more about your situation. You must go through a lot.
I had a severe head trauma when I was young, now I have migraine headaches
that causes me to loose conciseness, and I have symptoms of MS. My Dr.
wants me to have an MRI done to rule out that I have MS. There are days I
can walk. So when I have a good day I do as much as I can. Will keep you
posted as to see how you feel, an in my prayers.

I have been dealing with painful peripheral neuropathy for about 10 to 12
years. My main pain is in the bottoms of my feet but the neuropathy has
worked up to my knees. You talk about a frustrating experience. I
have tried every prescription, compounds, Anodyne therapy, Acupuncture and
Spinal Cord Stimulator. I am on a new and improved Spinal Cord Stimulator
now. I was told when all else fails the last thing they can do is a Pain
Pump. Well I have had that for about 2 years and get a steady dose of
Hydromorphone, Fentanyl and Bupivicaine every day, all day long. I can
also take up to 4 Hydrocodone a day and I also take Lyrica. I have had
Bilateral Endovenous Laser Ablation in both legs and Tarsal Tunnel surgery
on both ankles.
My average pain level is 5 to 6 every day. Now my only hope is that one
of the programs of the new Spinal Cord Stimulator will help. I am
seriously considering going to Mayo Clinic. Would be an expensive trip
from Texas.

Salena54 thank for your reply. I have both peripheral neuropathy And restless leg syndrome along sigh arthritis in my hip and spine. Night is the worst for rls I take requip and tramadol and. Natural sleeping Aid. Otherwise I would never sleep. I have a TENS machine for the neuropathy which I find to be quite affective though I still have pins and needles all the time in legs and hands and sometimes numbness. I used tha e migraines too so I feel for you they can be quite debilitating. Mine stopped zagged
Menopause. Thank you for your concern and I hope you can get relief soon.

Hi,
The essential oil rub is:1 cup coconut oil the solid type10 drops Valor, 10 drop panaway, 10 drops peppermintMix it all together and store it in a glass jar apply it to areas of pain twice a day, you don’t need much at all because it spreads very well and it’ll last a while. You can also use it more than twice a day if you’d like the brand that I have is Young Living but I think any brand would work as long as its 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils
