It is the same for me. I use topical now only, besides foods rich in mag.

I think it is a circulation issue. The body has high needs for magnesium and I don't think people with PN (or others for that matter, like smokers etc) get the mag into the periphery. The little blood vessels are either constricted, or it is sucked up elsewhere before it gets to the feet.

This is why I tend to recommend only topical now. I suppose some oral works for some people however, but it is difficult to prove that. The oral form also would take longer IMO, if only a little bit manages to get to the hands and feet.
