Hi I'm new too; I was diaognosed with idopathic neuropathy 3 yrs ago, and it has gotten worse over time, the nerve pain at times is unbearable, cant sleep, or walk very far, I also have joint problems. I take Gabapentan, cymbolta, water pill and a pill for high blood pressure. I'm a mess. but these medications help take the edge off. I am being proactive, even though its painful I still do what I can to stay busy, half the time in a wheelchair, eating better, and having a positive outlook is key. I know it will never go away so I have to learn to live with it. take B-12 5,000 mg, vitimin D, and a suppliament of calcium, magnesium, and zinc, gives u energy and helps the kidneys, supporting the immune system
