My sister-in-law has this and she suffers so badly with it. She has tried all the medications and they have not worked, does anyone have any experience with it with things that have worked for you?

I have quite severe neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. Touch wood, it seems relatively stable at the moment. (I don't seem to be experiencing the pain that I once did.)
What seemed to do the trick for me was Gabapentin (it's actually an anti-epilepsy/anti-convulsant drug) and Tramadol Hydrochloride. Unfortunately, I was taking quite large doses, several times a day, which seemed to have an adverse effect on me. All I could seem to do was sleep, plus, the postural hypotension (low blood pressure on standing) seemed to get much worse.
If you do a search on Yahoo! or Google for the term "Neuropathy", you are met with, literally, millions of pages. Having said that, I've listed a few that you might find useful.
I wish you and your sister-in-law the very best of luck in dealing with this problem.

Many diabetics have neurophathy. It's nerve ending that have been damaged by diabetes. There are some medications, but most don't help much. The side effects of those meds can be nasty. When I have days when my feet burn really bad, I put on a pair of socks and put my feet on a couple of ice bags with towels over them. It should feel cool, not cold. This makes it possible for me to sleep at night when I do it before I go to bed. Lyrica made me feel goofy all the time, even if I took it at night. It has other bad side affects, one of them is weight gain. Lyrica only helped my legs and arms, it did nothing for the feet and hands. I quit taking it. It was not made for neuopathy, it was made to treat seizures and depression. Then they tried it on diabetics and it helped some of the neuopathy, so the FDA approved it's use by diabetics.

I can get it again if I don't work at it every day. I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate
Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--
"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313
The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I have had neuropathy in my feet...I am not diabetic however...but on a hunch my doctor gave me vitamin B12 shots and it was like magic...all the burning and pain stopped overnight. I don't know whether this will help your sister-in-law or not..but anything is worth a chance to take that pain away.
