I have peripheral neuropathy and I have had it for 10 years. I have numbness in the feet which affects my balance .and sometimes leg pain and for the pain I take Gabapentin The neurologist which I see anually has told me that there is no cure for it in my case as I do not have Diabetes.

Thanks to ArthurG for the suggestion of K2-7 as mentioned in the video talk at 1:15. It appears the study was into those suffering from PN caused by Diabetes. Like 321alberic, my PN has no known cause, but I shall try K2-7 as symptoms are particularly bad at the moment. (Can't write with a pen for more than 20 minutes a day.)

I git same answer as i do not have Diabetes so many of the meds would be useless to me. The last 1 did at 30 least blood tests I never heard of, all normal, except high B 12, which for us is good. I take 2500 that gets absorbed when I chew them. I am just looking for answers.

Hello, I also have and still have Peripheral Neuropathy with no Diabetes, so I am in the same boat as you, I am having a MRI and CT scan on the 10th April, have had both done before Years ago, it is recommended by my Neurologist, as I have Ataxia also had lot of bloods done trying to find a gene I guess, Neurologist says that I should use a wheelchair now, as my Walker with a seat is not safe for me anymore -- Take care, Thanks for sharing , Neuropathy is not good ---- lottiejemma
