First, my prayers and good wishes for you husband.

Is the neuropathy in the feet? My wife gives me food rubs. This helps the pain and the underlying circulation issue (and is a nice excuse to spend 15 minutes together).

I am generally skeptical of alternative medicine but was eventually talked into acupuncture. My wife though I was crazy because I had it done by an M.D. from Harvard who was a novice acupuncturist rather than ancient Chinese man who sells herbs. Acupuncture is the only thing that has actually cause an improvement rather than just slowing the decline. Good luck!
