is the patch my neurologist was talking about. Capsaicin, is it? Any idea of the cost? I've tried the capsaicin cream, but it seems to irritate my skin. I've also used lidocaine cream which helps for short periods.

I'm just getting over some kind of repiratory virus(not flu or covid). During the worst of it I had no neuropathy symptoms at all. Riddle me that.
