[QUOTE="Crocodile, post: 1946014, member: 468583"] Hi Stephen, Sorry that you are having trouble. I too have neuropathy in the feet but not quite at your level. Today I have only a minor amount of numbness which I can live with. Sometimes the pain comes back but I get a fair bit of warning and can take action. I realise everybody is different but what worked for me was a combination of remedies rather than any single one. 1. Absolute full control of blood glucose. I've linked a research paper for you to read. It is very informative with the conclusion that neuropathy is worsened by very short duration spikes in blood glucose levels which are otherwise undetected by HbA1c routine testing. [URL]https://dmsjournal.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/1758-5996-6-139[/URL] Essentially, this involves drastic reductions in carbohydrate intake even if A1c is good. It takes a long time for symptoms to subside. In my case, almost a year. 2. I can vouch for the effectiveness of R-ALA but I needed quite a high dose ( 800mg per day ). 400mg twice per day. The R part is very important. Just ALA, not so useful. 3. I was sceptical at first but I bought a TENS machine because it wasn't so expensive. I'm using an Ultima Neuro device [URL]http://www.drhelpbooks.com/shop/[/URL] Much to my surprise it actually works quite well. I still have numbness but no pain. All three work together and one by itself in my case wasn't enough. Hope it works out for you. Glenn [/QUOTE]
