I have neuropathy on my head which no doctors know how to deal with it . They try to deal with it like a migraine which it is not. I have seen so many doctors one said try everything. I am now on 3 different meds something is starting to work. I can hardly stay awake during the day and I am dizzy. You have to keep going no matter what. Some people have it a lot worse than me. So I try not to complain.

2 ReactionsI also had the spinal stimulator implanted in December of ‘22. The change isn’t that dramatic but we are still playing with adjustments. I do get discouraged though…guess I’m hoping for a miracle cure. Have you tried NeuroPure? I’m waiting on the package to arrive. I will try anything to get my life back.

1 ReactionI have poly neuropathy and I’m presently taking 2400 mg gabepentin. I also had a spinal stimulator placed in my back. Minimal relief but still new, working on adjusting the stimulator with my drs. Has anyone tried or heard of NeuroPure?

1 ReactionHi @f0urboys3352, Welcome to Connect. Sorry you are not getting the relief with the spinal stimulator. Hoping they can tweak the adjustments to make it better. I took a look at the NeuroPure website and they dance around the ingredients and just say they are "natural" whatever that means. That raises a red flag for me, like a lot of neuropathy cures.
