Hey folks
This is a query targeted at any folks who experience any kind of neuropathic pain for any reason(s), to any degree, and with any frequency, and who've found meds and/or treatment options to reduce, manage, or otherwise cope with the pain.
Please note that we're not asking for ourselves, but for friends who have various forms of this and seem to be having no luck getting decent or timely care through official medical routes 🥺😔
Our own experience of pain has been very different, so we cannot extrapolate anything that has worked for our own issues to neuropathic pain. Relatively-speaking, we've been very fortunate.
We are aware of what the medical organisations say, but we'd much rather hear from folks with personal experiences of any kind, particularly atypical ones that work where others have failed.
As we understand it, commonly-prescribed meds like duloxetine (or any similar SNRI) and gabapentin are often ineffective in many folks, though please correct us if we're wrong there.
We don't have any insight on things like:
Thank you in advance for any answers 🫶

38 feasibility studies and 11 vroegefasetrajecten have been awarded in the 2025 spring round of Take-off. The Take-off program gives researchers in phase 1 the opportunity to test the feasibility of commercializing their idea based on innovative research results. In phase 2, knowledge-based, innovative start-ups in the early stages of their development receive a loan to get their business off the ground.

<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d22357388e174">Diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) is a common complication of diabetes, yet there are no safe and effective therapeutic options. Emerging evidence has indicated that DNA methylation mediated by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) is associated with neuropathic pain. However, how DNMTs respond to DNP and the underlying mechanism has not been established. In this study a DNP model was created and DNMT1, but not DNMT3a or DNMT3b, was shown to be upregulated in the spinal cords of mice with DNP. Moreover, DNMT1 was predominantly expressed in spinal cord neurons. Knockdown of DNMT1 in neurons improved nociceptive hypersensitivity in mice with DNP. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis and real-time quantitative PCR results suggested that downregulated miR-152-3p in the spinal cord of mice with DNP may be an upstream DNMT1 molecule. Overexpression of miR-152-3p reduced DNMT1 expression in the spinal cord and alleviated nociceptive hypersensitivity in mice with DNP. Knockdown of miR-152-3p caused an increase in DNMT1 expression in the spinal cord and induced nociceptive hypersensitivity in naive mice. Moreover, knockdown of DNMT1 reversed miR-152-3p knockdown-induced nociceptive hypersensitivity in naive mice. These results suggest that downregulation of miR-152-3p in the spinal cord is involved in the development of DNP by upregulating DNMT1. These data demonstrate a new mechanism underlying the development of DNP and provide a new therapeutic target for DNP. </p>

Desde el domingo con brote de #EncefalomielitisMiálgica y crisis de dolor neuropático. Al menos hoy duele menos al teclear.
A #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis crash (flare) and neuropathic pain crisis since Sunday. Typing hurts less but still.

Neuropathic pain—abnormal hypersensitivity to stimuli—is associated with impaired quality of life and is often poorly managed. Estimates suggest that 3% to 17% of adults suffer from neuropathic pain, including a quarter of people with diabetes and a third of people with HIV.
