Has anyone found a good treatment for neuropthy? I have extremley cold feet 24/7 and I have trouble sleeping. I take a nerve formula capsule that is composed of B1/B12 etc. So far, after 3 weeks, if does not seem to be helping. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm the caregiver for a 95 yo woman with cold feet/ankles d/t poor circulation and with occasional foot neuropathy flareups where she says her feet "feel like they are on fire." Her doctor suggested a peppermint cream(lotion?) that I could rub her lower legs & feet with every night when she goes to bed. He gets it at Bath and Body Works. Alas, there is not really a good treatment for neuropathy. Good luck.

I don't know much about neuropathy, but internet sources indicate a large number of possible causes. Perhaps a doctor would help. Or a different doctor if your current one has not been beneficial.

Have you been checked to see if you have diabetes?

Go to a pain clinic
Someone I know takes very very small doses of methodone for neuropathy broughtnon by chemotherapy.
Now, methodone, as you know, is a narcotic, so it is highly controlled but does wonders for this person's neuropathy. Also. Drink Gatorade, tonic water and eat a banana a day.
Tonic water and the Gatord do not need to be consumed together.

I have diabetic neuropathy. My doctor prescribe gabipentin. Quite surprisingly, I've also found an over-the-counter product called Go Green Pain Relief to be very effective. I no longer take the gabipentin. Go Green is a spray.

I have found that massaging the legs and feet help tremendously. Also put on socks. I use just the ankle socks. I massage my own feet and legs just for a couple of minutes and it works.
