Options: Consider speaking with your physician about using acupuncture as an adjunct to your current treatment plan. It can be very helpful for neuropathy. Good luck.

A few other choices: Some additional meds to consider include lyrica, (pregabalin) cymbalta, the medical food metanx, and perhaps even acupuncture.
