Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

Posted by bigjohnscho @bigjohnscho, Jul 1 10:27am

I suspect that everyone on this forum has been searching for a medication that helps their neuropathy and even though you no that all the internet claims are false we continue to waste hundreds of pounds. Desperation is a powerful force. Has any one been fortunate enough to find a genuine treatment. I just can’t believe that there are so many awful people who prey on our vulnerability and knowingly orchestrate such elaborate scams.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

One thing that maybe the key is to be treated according to the cause of the Neuropathy. (There are more than 1 or even 3)

Anyone have a comment?

I haven't tried it because I don't have pain only numbness but there is a discussion where other members have mentioned HBOT.

I did research it a bit. There seems to be some merit behind it. I'm going to keep it in mind. We do have a provider where I live.

For me, having been diagnosed with IPN in January, what has helped includes:
1. One prescription drug - Gabapentin - which I take 2-3 hours before bedtime;
2. Over the counter medications - R-Lipoic Acid, Magnesium Glycinate and a number of additional vitamins recommended by a number of top rated medical journals.
3. Exercise every day if even for 15 minutes. If you can, move your body, especially walking.
I didn't list the amount of the above medications because you need to start off slowly until you find the right dosage for you. BUT, let me make this clear - what I take has been a big help for me but I'm not a doctor and, what works for me doesn't mean it will work for you!
P.S. Don't waste your money on all the scams on the internet - No matter what anyone says - There is no cure. If there was, you would have heard that already from Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical, Cleveland Clinic etc. etc,, already!!!

I actually take Magnesium Glycinate during the day also. What works for me is 200mg during breakfast, 200mg with lunch or shortly after and 200mg with or after dinner. Definitely helps me with sleep!

Thanks for your answer. It helps me with sleep more than with the pain and it is calming me down and ease my worry.

Capsaicin 0.1% High potency pain cream relief. The one I use is from Globe and purchased on Amazon. Not expensive and highly successful when used to ease the burning pain on your feet at night. When I wake up and my feet are burning I apply it to the bottom of my feet and between my toes and on top of my feet. By the time I get back in bed, and throughout the night, the burning has gone away!
