Thanks JOhn that’s why I posted that question to see how others got thei diagnosis and what they are doing for treatment. As we know every one is different bit I
Am willing any suggestion because who knows one of the suggestions
Might work. Can’t go to MN too
Far away but maybe there is someone closer.

Bob, I understand how those who need help, and those who have abused the
system has made it difficult for the one’s who are in need. My daughter is
a nurse and See’s a lot of people who abuse there lives with pain meds. I
do a lot of counciling. My husband and I minister. You wouldn’t believe the
people who have become addicted to pain meds. It’s something some can’t
help. And you have those who does it for recreation. I have to take pain
meds like most of the the ones on this connection, are won’t be able to
walk, much less get out of bed. I don’t have insurance, so things can get
pricey! I am looking into some right now. I’ve been sick for years, but the
last 2 years have been rough. I try to get things done when I have good
days. I do know that prayer keeps me from being down and blue, which pain
and suffering can cause. I don’t think I go through what you go through are
the others on the connection. My heart goes out for all of you.

I’ve had peripheral neuropathy in my feet for 10 years. I take gabapetin 3 times a day and I take Hydrocodone 3 times a day for pain. The combination of these drugs is the only way I can deal with the pain. I have been looking for information on stem cell treatment for neuropathy but I haven’t seen anything in the US. I have seen some treatments in China and Mexico. Any information on stem cell treatment for neuropathy would be greatly appreciated. I believe it’s coming but it can’t get here soon enough.
Dear @johnwburns
No, I’m in the other category. I don’t have diabetes or cancer (fortunately) or autimmune. They dont know what casued it Thanks for the tips. I may try those.
I have fibromyalgia and neuropathy in my legs which they say is from
sarcoidosis, have had 8 spinal surgeries so who knows. Getting hard to
walk!! Briansr

Johnbishop, I wasnt diagnosed with neuropathy. They think its MS. I was also told that scar tissue from the head injury could give me those same symtoms. When I find out it will be a relief because I will get the right treatment. My daughter in law sells oils, she makes creams for my legs, it doesnt relieve all the pain , but it does help to a point. Most of what I take, I take at night because it makes me sleep, so I do the oils during the day. Know I do take my pain medicine if my pain is not tolerable.I here strength in you and the others posts. I know all that pain is hard to live with, “but” you and everone else has done a wounderful job of hanging in there. You have a lot of strength and youre an inspiration for those who need strength

Thanks Salena. I hope you are able to find some relief soon. I’ve heard the essential oils have helped some folks. I’m going to an oils learning session tomorrow evening and am planning to a blend of coconut oil, frankincense, cypress and lavender essential oils which is suppose to help if you have peripheral neuropathy. I’ve tried others that help a little but not a lot – PRIM (from herbal shop online), Blue-Emu, Australian Dream, Topricin, and a few others. They do make your feet feel a little better and putting it on helps you check your feet for sores, etc… God Bless!

@johnbishop I looked into the oils (as most of you know, when you’re in pain you look into everything). Please let us know if the oils helped and what oils you used. I will try anything and everything to get off these opiate pain killers. I think they’re doing harm to the rest of my health.

Thank you. I also think my autoimmune disease caused my neuropathy which is what I’m hoping I find out from the neurologist next Month.
