      For years after my GBS in 2009 I have used Gabapentin to tap down the paresthesia in my feet.
      Question: What, if any, are the new treatment options? How about Cannabidiol? How about Curcumin?

      What are the new treatments for paresthesia? Has anyone moved on to new treatments?

      Thank you.

      Have you tried kratom powder? 4 – 6 grams in some koolaid. Works every time for about 4 hours. You can build a tolerance, so I just take it at night when the foot pain acts up. Mild exercise on the treadmill. For me 20 minutes for a half mile, using the handrail bars to control foot pressure. If I go over that, it makes it worse the next day. The lyrica gives me those tardive twitches, I thought I had them permanently, took a couple months to resolve, you could not pay me to take lyrica again.
