Vita Sciences Nervex Maximum Neuropathy Support, Scientifically Developed for Effective Natural Fast Cream for Feet, Hands, Legs, Toes

This version of Nervex contains Capsaicin, which my doctor advised using. It is milder than using straight Capsaicin, and did seem to help with the already burning in my feet/toes. I think perhaps I will return to using the regular Nervex as I think it works for me just as well.

I've been using this product sparingly over the past year. I'm almost out of Nervex and am ordering a second bottle. There are nights when the soles of my feet don't burn enough to prevent eventual sleep. Other nights, I toss and turn for hours trying to find a 'cool' spot under the sheets so the burning might be less intense. Lately, that hasn't worked so I've been using Nervex almost nightly, It's senseless to have something that brings a modicum of relief and not apply it. It does not make the burning magically disappear. I wish it did. However, it does relieve the burning sensation enough to enable me to fall asleep and stay that way. I've tried Lyrica and other products and nothing makes the pain disappear (for me). The only drawback is that you really need to thoroughly wash your hands after applying Nervex. It's a drag to get off the bed after applying Nervex just to wash my hands. However, I found out the hard way that if don't wash with soap and water and rub an eye or blow your nose, the tissue burns QUITE a bit. I'd love to find out about a product that truly makes all the neuropathy symptoms go away. In the meantime, I need Nervex on my nightstand!

Helps a bit with neuropathic "pins and needles" at night. Doesn't completely eliminate the pain.

Let me preface this by saying as an Amazon customer since 1998, these "sponsored" reviews of the last few years are, IMO, one of the worst things to happen on Amazon since the beginning.I paid full price for a bottle of this in 07/15 and put it in my box of many similar products and promptly forgot about it until this Holiday week. I have the interesting life of one with Fibromyalgia, and early onset osteoarthritis in both of my hips, the left so far gone I'm temporarily in a wheelchair while arrangements are made for a replacement. I'm 45. Recently the narcotic pain patches and breakthrough med wasn't just not cutting it, an average day was me was sobbing uncontrollably in pain while my DH (& caretaker) watched helplessly. Even the recent steroid injection which normally should've given me some relief did nada. In desperation, my dear husband took the Nervex out of my "pain arsenal" and suggested giving it a try. Within five minutes of him rubbing the pinkish, odorless cream into my hip and thigh, my pain was gone. Seriously. I have no idea how it worked when more powerful products have failed, I'm just incredibly grateful that it is working, and 3x daily applications have given me a truly enjoyable, pain-free Christmas Eve. Thank You and please keep making this product!There has been no downside, or side effects to this product. But when the label says wash hands immediately, they aren't fooling around. I accidentally transferred a bit of the cream into my hand, then rubbed my eye. And before I could say G7 protesters with mace-melted contacts in their eyes, I, too, was learning water makes it worse, and to just wait out the the small amount of capsaicin in the product

Bought this thinking it would ease my nerve pain from fibromyalgia. HUH ! About 15 minutes afte I applied the greasy cream I began to smell this pungent awful aroma from it. Had to wash my hands 3 times to get the smell off them then had to take a bath later to remove the smell from its application. Smelled like a wet polyester couch after a house fire. I kid you not. Should have returned it but was so pissed off that I just threw the remaining contents in the trash and hope and pray the EPA doesnt come after me for causing pollution. No effect at all on nerve pain just felt like I was applying auto chassis grease to my body.. Folks I jest here about the experience but seriously this product should be avoided.

Very good product

Odorless: no, it has an odor and is not that pleasant - someone described it as "sour milk" and I tend to agree. Is it possible that some lots went bad?Non-irritating: a few people said that it burn their skin - sorry it does not. I am even wondering if the %tage of capsaicin is high enough for that to happen (the product indeed does not show the %tage - most creams show a 0.025% but this one does not tell anything). In any cases, not irritating for me = checked!Effectiveness: I cannot say I feel any relief but this may be a personal experience and depends on the severity of the illness you have. With a large body area affected with neuralgia, I felt no improvement (a soothing homemade salve was more effective than this).I don't think I will buy this again but will give it a fair try on another pin one day and chnge my rating if at all effective.

Works like a charm. Very pleased with the results
