If you are taking any of these medications, and you have neuropathy, you

need to speak to your doctor about getting off of them and replacing them

with a natural supplement.

 

Minimally, your doctor should put you on a medication that does not cause

neuropathy.

If you doctor is not willing to work with you on this, you should find a

doctor who will.
