5.Vitamins D and B12
People who don’t get enough of these tend to develop DPN. Sunlight is a good source of vitamin D, as are cheese, egg yolks, mushrooms, and fatty fish like tuna, salmon, and mackerel. Fish and red meat have vitamin B12. Some foods have these vitamins added, too, like orange juice, soy milk, and cereals. Taking vitamin D supplements when you have DPN may ease symptoms, but it doesn’t look like B12 supplements help.
6.Medication
Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen don’t usually work for DPN. But some prescription medicines that treat depression and seizures — including duloxetine, gabapentin, pregabalin, and tricyclic antidepressants — might make it hurt less. You often take them at night so you sleep better. They can have unpleasant side effects though, so talk to your doctor about what the right choice is for you.
