I'm 20 years old and am suffering from peripheral neuropathy. I finally went to an internal medicine doctor because my my numbness and sensitiviy were getting worse. He has ran many blood tests (auto immune, iron levels, vitamin levels, blood cell counts, blood sugar etc) to find what is causing it but nothing has turned up abnormal. Other than this I am completely healthy and would prefer to go to alternative medicine for treatment than waste more money and not finding answers.
I wanted some opinions/experiences people have had seeing an Ayurveda doctor. It would be especially helpful if someone with peripherial neuropathy has been to one too! Thankyou! Or if you have any suggestions on where I should go from there, they are welcomed too.
* I'm not really looking for religious answers about finding God.. this is about alternative medicine, not christianity.

I have a relative with Neuropathy in the foot, he has tried Alpha Lipoic Acid for several weeks, and supposedly that did not help.
I found Capsaicin (topical) Cream, Gotu Kola, and Evening Primrose Oil as possible solutions from the University of Maryland, Mayo Clinic, and University of Michigan Medical Databases.
So,which is more effective? Anyone with any experiences of these complementary alternative treatments? (Any treatment that I have overlooked?)

I am a diabetic who is currently undergoing a lot of medical treatment. To make a long story short, I have pain and nausea (which they can't find the source to. I am undergoing a lot of tests), so they prescribed me Ultram for the pain and Compezine for the nausea. They knew that I was taking Zoloft 50 mg once a day. They knew all of my medications including Klonopin for anxiety, Geodon for my mood swings, and Lyrica for my neuropathy, and amitriptyline When I went to my behavioral health doctor, she was concerned that they gave me Ultram, because apparently they interact. Doing some research, I found that my amitriptyline also interacts with Zoloft. She warned me about them, but she didn't tell me the side effects. Are they dangerous? Has anyone taken both before? THey are both really low doses, and I won't take them at the same time. I am going to call my doctor Monday, but I really don't know if it is safe to take any Ultram over the weekend. Just so everyone knows-I WILL GO ASK A DOCTOR. I am just asking for anyone's experiences themselves. Thanks.
I am sorry I meant that she was concerned that the Zoloft would interact with the Ultram. I apologize for not being clear. And thank you for your input!

I am interested in two things. 1) Does it work - What are your experiences with it? 2) Would using an infrared light work as well?
Thank you for taking the time to answer this.
I went to that website and it talked only about diabetes and a lot of other items. It referred to losing weight as a way to get better. But, overweight is NOT my problem... Neuropathy is what I had asked about.
