There is a cream made in Canada....that has arginine in it.
This is one example http://www.footexpress.com/Merchant2...oduct_Code=509 Here is our thread on Healthibetic cream: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...light=arginine The geranium oil, is a possibility for you too. If you REALLY want to test the feeling in your hand, give some Capsaicin a try...It will either drive you nuts (like it does me) or you may like it. It certainly will reveal how much feeling you have. Not many people here have been able to tolerate this remedy which was originally put on the market for post herpetic neuralgia!

Interesting reading, not sure which way to go. (grasping at ideas)
In reality there is probably no way of stoping the progression. Shame really, I'm down to one finger that still has enough feeling left to pick my nose properly. |

The Capsaicin is really a replacement feeling/symptom- for an existing one.
The hot pepper reaction is so severe you forget about your original problem. It's supposed to block out the nerve reaction and if you get used to it, cancel out the PN symptom. I didn't care for it, at all. I use a menthol based cream to cool and soothe the burning of my feet. 'Biofreeze', or 'Icy Hot' (or the generics) is good for this.

I'm very lucky, I don't have the burning now.
I did initially but only in my feet. |

".....I did initially but only in my feet."
For many of us, that's enough !
