Hello lovely ladies,

For the past 6 weeks I have been having terrible neuropathy in my feet and hands. I have been prescribed Pregabalin and i'm having to build up my tolerance of it so currently only on 150mg per day. It looks like the neuropathy is going to be with me for a while before I can get it under control.

What have you found that has worked for you? Some ladies said acupuncture has provided some relief, others have said that acupuncture did not work. People have also mention Vit B/B12 and Icy Hot cream?

I have been looking online at foot massagers and foot spas.

If anyone is able to advise on what is working for them to relieve the pain I would value your opinions.

I would appreciate any advice.

Thank you

Lisa.
