Does anyone have any tips for living with ideopathic peripheral neuropathy?

I don’t have ideopathic but I do have what is referred to as “aggressive” medically acquired diabetes, with both peripheral and autonomic neuropathy. I get nerve blocks when it is bad – but am requiring less of them lately. Have you looked at nerve blocks? Some of the new ones (in trial currently) use soluble fats to delay the release and eliminate peripheral damage.

hasn’t your dr. had you try neurontin? at first it makes you slow and sleepy. but I understand this goes away in time.

Have you tried any alternative medicines. I would suggest going to a Naturopath and acupuncturist. See what they can do for you.
