Treatment for neuropathic pain on the horizon? — 7 Comments

  1. Neo have you tried alpha lipoic acid ? It is used on europe for diabetic neuropathy. My father in law used it at my
    Suggestion after his own md gave him a shoulder shrug
    When he said his feet kept him awake. He had a fairly good
    Response, he also used Bvitamins, large doses & topical
    Hydrocortisone oint. None of these measures needs a script
    Alpha lipoicacid is sold at wamart

  2. The way this post is worded it is hard to tell if Neo is still having trouble with neuropathic pain. Lets hope she is better now. I’m curious if Neo knows what triggered her pain in the first place and how it was eventually resolved or ameliorated?

    I tried to convey the fact that it is not that bad now by writing “I suffered from it for many years” rather than “I have suffered from it for many years.” But I guess that didn’t quite get the message across.

    The rest of the story is here.

  4. I suffer from chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), which is incurable although some people go into remission. It affects 1.5 persons per 1 million. I linked to your story for my friends because you describe neuropathic pain so well. The smartest thing I ever did was make sure I had a pain management specialist as part of my medical team.

    Good luck to you.

    When I first was injured and developed neuropathic pain, pain specialists were few and far between. I first encountered them about 5 years into my saga, and it was helpful. One has to be careful not to go to the kind who attribute everything to a bad attitude, though (there are such pain specialists).
