Here are some suggestions for dealing with neuropathy:
- Because of the side effect of loss of feeling, patients are prone to accidents and should be extra careful when cooking, in slippery areas, and in dark places.
- Keep the area with the symptoms warm and avoid extreme temperatures
- Good skin care and watch for cuts and burns
- Massage and physical therapy
- Make sure your diet includes the essential vitamins and minerals
- Stop smoking and exercise to improve circulation
- Moderate your alcohol intake
