Co enzyme Q10

Posted by gnocchi @gnocchi, 1 day ago

Hi everyone - I have idiopathic sensory neuropathy and thought I was doing better but last two nites my bottoms on my feet are burning and very red. I started on co enzyme Q10 since I have been on Lipitor for many years to help with weak muscles and they say neuropathy - only taking it for two days. Has anyone had any luck with co enzyme Q10 would sure love to hear from you. Anyway my husband died in the middle of Nov last year so have had lots of issues to deal with it. Would appreciate hearing from any of you. Lyrica sucked - made me so tired not worth it and tried so many creams - anyway, if anyone has had luck with anything would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. I don't know how to live alone with burning feet and wondering if the physical therapy is helping me. It seems to get worse at night. I do take amitriptyline in evening 50 mg and it does help some but in the day I cant take it - appreciate hearing from someone as I am getting desperate.

Taking cymbalta helped me and I also take lyrica and take a nap everyday. Coq10 helps too

Hello @gnocchi, I also take Ubiquinol (CoQ10) daily but more for the heart benefits than anything else. Mayo Clinic has more information here - https://store.mayoclinic.com/education/benefits-of-coq10/.

Sorry to hear you are struggling with the burning feet. I don't have burning just numbness with my neuropathy but do have the constant squeezing feeling due to having to wear knee high compression socks for lymphedema. I can tell you that you are not alone as many members have mentioned burning feet. You might find it helpful to scan through a search of Connect for "burning feet what helps".
