FYI--I have been taking biotin, 5 mg per day, for a couple of months now and it appears to have reduced my pain, so you might try that. Biotin has shown in studies to reduce pain in patients with kidney-failure-induced neuropathy.
Also alpha-lipoic acid (Jarrow sustain with biotin, 600 mg per day) and evening primrose oil (TwinLab Mega primrose oil, 2600 mg per day) reduce my pain.

When gabapentin stopped working (meaning I had to up my dose for the forefoot pain), it would be like someone flipped a switch. Over the course of a couple days (seriously) the relief would leave. The capsacain pepper cream went south over a couple of months. I bought some more that was 25% stronger & the pain didn't improve at all.
I already take 1200mg of Pligrim's Pride ALA. My wife just got some biotin (for other reason), so may give it a try. Thanks
