Dear Bob B, I am fully aware there is no cure for my neuropathy or my RA. The theory states as long as there is control (for ex, diabetes or pre diabetes) or remission (like in RA), of the disease causing the neuropathy, at that point, correctly handling the neuropathy thru supplements, diet and exercise should help bring down the pain a few steps so that the neuropathy should feel better. Also use of amiltryp... (forgot the spelling) has a chance of promoting possible nerve growth. All this per postings on this PN site. I have no areas of numbness and no nerve death. That is why I am trying to stay so positive.
