Type 2 Peripheral neuropathy pain relief

[nannoo_bird]

Hi all. Does anyone have any suggestions for the relief of acute PN pains? I have spent years on the usual drugs prescribed for this, but realised I suffered serious side effects. Now I am off these and get horrid stabbing pains and painful joints. Any help would be much appreciated.

Metformin and better glucose control reversed mine but I only had them for about a month before I sought treatment. I know that is probably not what you are looking for and some one else may have some other help-that is really my only experience with PN. I sympathize with your pain-I could not believe how uncomfortable it was when it started.

acute thats a hard one, on longer term taking R-alpha-lipoic Acid high dose like 600-900 mg a day, getting enough magnesium and potassium, and vitamin-C , and GLA(gamma lanolinic acid), high dose B12

But of natural soft pain-killers i only know of chillí and cherries ( about 30 piecec), but dont think they are very effective...
sorry but only have not very effective suggestions

@nannoo_bird - Pregabalin and Gabapentin are usually prescribed by GP's for Neuropathic Pain.

If you manage to find any relief please let me know as my feet are getting worse, driving me crazy .

Getting my blood glucose levels down reversed the pain in my feet, although there's still some numbness.

I've had a problem with the nerves in my back causing pains in my legs, the only thing that really helped me was amitriptyline at night so I could actually sleep and pregabalin through the day. You have to be careful with gabapentin, it made me put a shed load of weight on, not something you need

Amitripyline worked for me. gabapentin n preglabelin didn't.

A.L.A is not a pain reliever I don't know how it works but it seems to stop the actual pain occurring I am sure someone with the know how will be able to post a link !

@nannoo_bird - Pregabalin and Gabapentin are usually prescribed by GP's for Neuropathic Pain.

I have been on both, and can truly say they are dreadful drugs for many people. The withdrawal symptoms are horrendous - see Lyrica Survivors on Facebook to read peoples stories.

@nannoo_bird - I am intrigued about these 'horrendous' withdrawal symptoms?
I have been on Tramadol and Pregabalin before for a bad back = 4 years ago and 2 years ago and now. When I have been weaned off them the only thing I noticed was sweating.

Not everyone has problems, but there are a significant number that do. I had terrible anxiety, panic attacks and eventually a complete meltdown. If you are interested, do have a look at the FB page called "Lyrica Survivors" - it is very interesting but so sad.
