[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1983209, member: 160246"] [USER=388174]@SimonCrox[/USER] I have a 30 year old scar from surgery. Just checked. It's still numb. In an effort to better understand the perspective you're writing from, I went back and surveyed your posts. Thank you for so graciously taking the time to share your knowledge and experience here. It's contributors like you that keep me coming back to this forum. It sounds like your neuropathy is due to a B12 deficiency (and you don't know how long you had it, but have addressed it and continue to do so). My search for information on neuropathy has been limited to diabetic related neuropathies, so I don't know what you can reasonably expect from various therapies and treatments for relief from your symptoms. The first diabetes group I joined was filled with people who were suffering from peripheral neuropathy. It was awful. Afterward, I searched online and found three healthcare providers in the US who were successfully treating it, two of whom wrote what they were doing in book form. I bought and read the books, then shared them at the next meeting. The members passed them around the table, a few flipped through the pages, then returned them to me. I was completely dumbfounded. None showed any interest. The meeting resumed, and I listened as one member described the process he was going through to have his PN evaluated and diagnosed. I think knowing the research is very helpful - (your example of taking too much vitamin B6 causing neuropathy is an excellent example of learning what to avoid), but I also think clinical experience is equally helpful, and we have some incredible innovators in the healthcare field. Additionally, I think having an openness to trying new strategies and building from there is the better approach. I don't know if this will help those who are reading this, but there's numerous clinics in the USA as well as innovative clinicians who are treating neuropathy. Here's a few examples: Perhaps this list will provide therapies to research...

I think though that finding the right diet and exercise regimen is the foundation for any of the therapies and treatments used.
