I have to agree with you that the neuropathy is very painful and annoying. The best thing I've found for it is Lyrica. It helps with most of the pain and pins and needle feelings. I've also tried Gabapentin, but didn't have as good of luck. There is also a medical food in pill form called Metanx. I've just started this and it takes awhile to see results. It isn't covered by insurance and current costs is $58 for 30 days and it requires a prescription. There are other meds out there that treat the symptoms of neuropathy and sometimes it's a trial and error thing. My podiatrist also prescribed a compounded cream that works. It has lidocane, gabapentin, and an anti-inflammatory among other things in it. Not covered by insurance either, but they have "help" to pay for it and it only cost me $20.
Mine has gotten progressively worse this last year and I've been searching for anything that works half way decently. Good luck and if you find anything that works please share.
