Posted by runnergirl @runnergirl, Nov 5, 2021

Hi All - Anyone ever receive magnesium infusions for idiopathic neuropathy?

Thanks so much for the information provided. Do you know whether it is better to take B12 instead of B-Complex? I recently stopped taking B12 and replaced it with B-Complex Plus, since this includes other B vitamins such as, 1, 2, 6, as well as 12. Appreciate feedback.

@pua0609 My neurologist told me b6 causes neuropathy. On the other hand, B12 should be supplemented if low. It may be helpful to get a blood test to guide you. Best, LL

Thank you so much for your feedback. My primary care doctor recommended B12, which I had taken for many months. But, recently a nurse practitioner, who mentioned that she also suffers from PN, said she takes B-Complex in addition to B12. I am particular about not overdoing any medication or vitamin. But, there's so much that is confusing. Wishing us all the best...
Thanks again.

i was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 7 years ago and found out about 2 months ago i do not have it. But i have developed neuropathy. It bothers my legs and feet. No pain but no feeling which makes it difficult to walk. I tried using a magnesium cream because it said it helped nerves.
It was like a miracle!! I could walk again. No shuffling feet. I've been using it a week now. It's made by Mama Bear and its called OASIS. It has magnesium chloride in it.

@morningsky
After reading your post, I bought Mentara 10. It has 3 different types of Magnesium. It's supposed to rehydrate DDD. I have very bad DDD, so I thought it was worth a try. It comes with a 90-day guarantee. I had Viadisc done, and it did help for a while. It's a procedure that rehydrates the discs. I saw it on Facebook, so I thought I would try it. I pray it does what it says! I have constant lower back pain. Relief would be wonderful! It takes a couple of months to work, so I will report back after I try it.

I should also mention I've had ablation, tried a stimulator, and had Viodisc injections. I don't know of anything else I could do. I'm doing PT, but that seems to make my back worse. I've had 2 medical people tell me I will always have it. Not what I want to hear.

@byhoyle hello, Dr.’s kept telling me mine was Neuropathy from Chemotherapy. Which I kept telling them it was not. Never had Neuropathy during Chemotherapy. It started almost 3.5 years later in my right toe. Long story short now CIDP!!! Waiting on my appointment at University of PA/ Penn Med 4/6/2026. They specialize in that. I am wondering if I should give that cream a try. Fingers are like pins and needles. Feet, cannot feel them half of the time. Balance is so off.
