Hi Rich,

I don't remember anything new. The L-glutamine idea that Lani posted has been around for a long time - I took it in 2001. And I think that it's meant as preventative - I don't think it's been studied after the neuropathy is already there.

Drugs that work for "nerve pain" can help. Drugs like neurontin and lyrica. Some are bothered by their sedative side effects but usually that improves after the first few days.

I've asked and not really received a good answer, whether these kinds of neuropathic pain drugs actually "fix" the neuropathy or simply mask the symptoms. Maybe I just don't know who to ask. But even if they're just alleviating symptoms, that's something.
