I am 69 and have had a burning peripheral neuropathy in my feet since 2007.
I live on the Texas coast and I used to be an avid fisheman with a 23' center console outboard boat. I love the outdoors and there are many places I have yet to visit and scenery I have yet to enjoy. The last was the Grand Canyon. I had to bring a wheel chair. Not exactly how I invisioned my trip before this crippling malady.

A year ago I was also diagnosed with spinal neuropathy. That is arthritis of the lower spine. I swim for exercise and to reduce the pain in my back. Walking would also reduce the pain if I could go far enough. Between the back and the feet I spend too much time on my back. Not good.

The only relief I have gotten from the feet is from Lyrica. Unfortuneately I cannot tolerate the side effects. Ditto for anti-depressants. I am now searching for vitamins, supplements, etc. that might help. Two I recently stumbled across are alpha lipoic acid and benfotiamine. What do you think? Any more suggestions?
