No...for 6 months. The only thing that has helped me is a prescribed supplement (Podiatrist who sees many diabetic patients with neuropathy ). EB-N6. Comes from a pharmacy in Fl. And calcium glycinate at night for cramping. Tough...i tried so many different supplements. Also I don't have diabetic neuropathy...mine is typical idiopathic small axon peripheral neuropathy. May have been caused by Hydroychloroquine use for 10 years. Best of luck.
I use the cream and it helps the burning and pins and needles feeling that I have in my feet and legs. I have polyneuropathy and experience pain in hands and arms mostly. I buy at Walmart for 12.95.
generalizations about PN and different treatment attempts seem to be very common among forum participants. This is so funny when you get right down to it. To say one treatment modality doesn't work is generalizing. Like saying B12 is useless. One must ask how much B12, what type of B12, who confirms that the product is everything that is advertised about the product is true. People who try to sell something don't lie do they? It is time for people to quit generalizing about things. To say something doesn't work is a bit immature. One needs to describe why one found that it didn't work for them. Answer questions like what, how much, how often and then say their opinion about the product. Just my 2 cents. General comments can't help much!
When comparing the ingredients of Nervive with other commercial products, I noted that it doesn't have the best form of B1 or B12, and no information on return policy

Some of the proprietary "nerve" products don't use the more bioavailable form of the nutrient, e.g., cyanocobalamin B12 vs. methylcobalamin B12. Same for the form of B1, Mg++, lipoic acid used. Any clinical studies comparing the various forms and dosages in CIPN?
Has anyone used a cream such as Nervive on their feet for pain? I bought it but I am a little afraid to use it. I am in early neuropathy right now so I do not suffer any of the advanced symptoms but I can tell you the pain in my feet is often pretty uncomfortable and has altered my life a great deal. I am 75 years old and trying to remain active but after my daily walk I am pretty much on the couch icing my feet. My feet cannot stand being constricted in supportive sneakers during walk.
Also has anyone tried Kuru footwear? I need a lot of cushioning. Thank you.

I have worn Kuru. Comfortable shoe that provides extra support around the heel. I went other way with shoes. Have foot and ankle numbness. Used barefoot type shoes. Got some from Keen. Actually very comfortable for daily walking. Not sure they would be as good on a rough path. Lots of room for toes to lay flat in shoe.

1 ReactionThat’s very interesting. How do you go about comparing good vs not quality of the vitamins?
