Dr. Gott obviously never had severe neuropathy pain. That's like trying to kill an elephant with a flyswatter. I am so sorry your husband is suffering. There are drugs that many of us find helpful in several categories. It sounds like your husband needs a doctor who is willing to work with finding the best drugs to help him. I use fentanly patches. Fentanyl is a synthetic morhpine. And I also take Lyrica, which is an anti-seizure drug that is used for pain control. I hope he can get relief soon.
