Welcome, californiagirl.

I've had sensory neuropathy for four years now...cause unknown. I'm more fortunate than most as on most days my symptoms are just annoying, but when I flare for no known reason, it's highly unpleasant. Cramping in my feet and lower legs has become one of my biggest problems, and in the past year or so, I've developed wide-spread, weird skin sensations all over my body. Staying adequately hydrated is key to my comfort level, and I'm never without water.

You'll see in my signature all that I take. I've experimented with a jillion different supplements at this point, but the one I would recommend above is fish oil for its neuroprotective qualities. I take a very high quality one I purchase on Amazon.

Thus far, I've avoided prescription medication, but gabapentin is what was initially prescribed and is what my neuro still recommends.
