Ask about a physical therapy consult. It's covered by insurance. Exercise, strength training helps💕

I got to thinking that the supplement I recommended probably wouldn’t help as long as you are under treatment. My new doctor told me that duloxetine has the best evidence for relieving neuropathic sensory symptoms,

You might also ask your primary doctor to prescribe a dietary prescription supplement called Metanx which is indicated for people with diabetic neuropathy. It’s a little expensive but it may help. It helps nerves repair themselves. There’s a Good Rx coupon for it. I’m thinking of turning it myself. I used it in my medical practice before I retired with good results. It helped the burning and tingling.

Thank you, Donna. My husband has MM and the physical therapy was meaningful during the sessions, but the carryover at home has been difficult due to the lethargy. I am encouraged by your words and will put prayer and perseverance to work.
