Default Marie, If I May...

You can often find out some things by perusing a member's past posts—usually the early ones. If you click on their avatar, one of the choices on the drop-down list is "Find More Posts by..." If you click on that, posts by that member are listed in reverse chronological order. Going to the last page of posts will get you to their earliest posts, where are usually contained introductions, etc. describing their health concerns/issues. It doesn't always work with the really... um... experienced(?) posters (different versions of the board software, etc.) but it works with many.

There isn't much that works for the buzzing & tingling. R-Lipoic Acid stops the burning pain completely for me, but doesn't work for everyone (what does?)

Another possibility for nerve pain might be methadone, which has its own set of downsides/risks, but every medication does. The reason I mention it is that it binds to all three kinds of pain receptors.

Why Would I Use Methadone?

As always, a thorough discussion with you doctor (and some homework) should happen before deciding on any particular medication.
