I can definitely say that posts like this are very helpful for a newcomer like me. I recently went to my doctor because of pain which has been determined to be neuropathic. My main objective in going to the doctor was to get medication for the pain (even though I normally avoid meds at all costs). But after finding this forum and all the information about supplements and other ways of addressing the pain, my plan is to first try other alternatives instead. Thanks to all who share techniques that have been helpful for them.
