I am new to this group. I am wondering what else I can do besides take the vitamins and meds the doctor gave me.

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

Hi Lynn and all! I'm new to this group also. I'm 61, white, and female with Peripheral Neuropathy (PN). The cause? Lyme disease? COPD? Alcohol? Old head injury? Who knows! It's incurable and probably a symptom of something else.
I take 2700mg Gabapentin and just started Cat's Claw yesterday so we will see if that also enhances a pain reducing effect.
I also have COPD and take ANORO inhaler once in am. I am on 02 machine with a portable so I can drive and to what I want when I'm "pushing through the burn" with PN. COPD is also incurable. So, I try to do things I want as often as I can while I still can.
I'd like to hear from others how they are and if there are more tips.
Cheers all and Lynn! Jill

I also use a blow dryer on my body which is a very pleasant dry heat. It feels so good and soothes everything. Wish I could have a great big warm blower that I didn't have to hold and I could just lay there and sleep or relax.
