Peripheral Neuropathy

Has anyone found anything 0ver the counter that works for peripheral neuropathy ? I hope it's caused by my lyme disease and I am being treated by a LLMD. I just really need something that will help with the pain.
Thanks much.

Laker with "No Subject" it is hard for anyone to hone in on your thread. You might want to put in "peripheral neuropathy help" as a title.

My daughter had peripheral neuropathy as a result from chemo therapy for cancer, and she was given pain pills - oxy, neurontin and an anti-depressant. They only took the edge off. It was just a bandaid and not a cure since the chemo was causing it.

I read that alpha lipoic acid is great for nerve related symptoms. I have not done any of these.

Good luck!

I am taking Kudzu and Greater Celandine - for my nerve issues.
It's listed in Buhner's bartonella book - section on specific symptoms treatment.

I have nerve pain, vibrations, buzzing, you name it...I got it...or I had it.

Worst of all my symptoms...by far.

Along with the ALA that PeteZa mentioned, Acetyl L Carnintine, B Vitamins, Omega 3's.

Laker - so sorry you are struggling with the pain.

I believe a few people (in addition to me) are having good results with LDN - low dose naltrexone. You can do a search for threads talking about it in detail.

No need to apologize...


Hope you get some relief soon.

Laker so sorry you are struggling with this. I understand how aweful it is but I can offer you some advice that helped me. I had it about 5 years ago and its gone for good.
Its fundamentally a circulation issue. Your blood isn't as healthy as it should be and its not getting oxygen through to the fine nerve endings in your feet and hands. There maybe toxic deposits there or infections and your nerves need nutritional support.
I took B12, Omega 3, burdock root as a blood cleanser and liver detox products. Things didn't change it wasn't enough on its own but I kept them up. I started going to a Bowen therapist (I live in Australia and they are very common here - acupuncture would do the same or any massage that works acupuncture points). It worked to help me get over the pain. I went once a week at first and when things improved every 2 weeks because it builds on itself.
within 3 weeks I was seeing a positive change. You will physically recognise that things are getting better. The most important thing I did was buy a vibration exercise platform, a circulation booster might work the same. It hurt a lot using it at first so I went very slow with it. You just pace yourself and persevere. I did 20 seconds every couple of hours and built it up to 2 minutes 4 or 5 times a day just putting my hands or feet on the platform and holding them in a way that I could feel the vibration running right through to the tips of my fingers or toes. The object is to do it to a level you can tolerate so you are getting oxygen to the nerve endings. It took 5 months to get over it completely. I am so glad I did.
All the best

Hey Courtney - my GP told me you don't take Gabapentin or Lyrica once in awhile - that you need to take it everyday.

Do you take it as needed?
