Aloha... I just found this site tonight and learning my way around. I have suffered from PN for over 20yrs and do not want to do Rx's. It is getting worse as I age. Been to many Dr's... and the only real relief I had was from Capsazin and I do like soaking my feet too. Well... I have taken Valerian Root for many years as a calmative at night for sleep and then I saw it suggested for nerve pain... I had never tried it during the day as I didn't want to get drowsy. I took one capsule in the am and WOW did it work. Brought the tingling and pain down within 15min. I have been taking it for over a week now... PRN, as needed with my feet start to bark at me.... no drowsiness. I also am trying Benfothiamine with the ALA. It is a fat based B vitamin. Hope that help too. After all these years of suffering in silence I finally have hope...PS... lucky I live in Hawaii as I hate shoes... or they hate me
