I take two Gabapentin a day. It helps me a lot. I tried to go off of it and the symptoms got really worse. I went back on it. An ibuprofen at night helps. I've started taking alpha lipoic acid and MediNox Pro in addition to my other supplements. I use my TENS unit for 20 minutes on my feet, then hands. All this is helping.

$130 Recommended by my chiro, when I said I wanted one. Numerous ones on Amazon that are less expensive. Too many choices for me, so I went with the rec. I hope that helps.

Thank you. New to group. I have been diagnosed with PolyNeuropathy which basically is when they don't know what is causing my symptoms. I was tested for Lime disease, lead poisoning, etc. I am currently just using OTC pain relievers. I have never heard of TENS. I will google.

TENS means transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation. Whew! I guess you've looked it up by now. I had to. It seems to help stimulate nerves and keep them from degenerating. I think it helps. Alpha Lipoic Acid on Amazon helps. MediNox Pro from Select Health of the Carolinas helps with increased blood flow. OPC3 from shop.com is very good for keeping red blood cells from sticking together and clumping up - much better blood flow to small vessels/veins. Cut out carbohydrates, walk as much as you can, play the air piano with your fingers in the mornings, wear compression sleeves around your ankles. Copper brand on Amazon are good as well as Kemford, which I wear at night. They aren't so compressive.
Keep on trying things that people on here talk about. Enjoy your day!

@user_ch98d0b5c - Well, I fit that condition...idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. Unlike John, mine comes with a ton of pain. The possible cause may be previous injuries like falling off horses and down mountains. I am happy to offer what does and does not work for me to provide some relief. Just let me know and I can send you a private message or post for all.
