It's great to hear your numbers are the lowest they've been — that's a real win worth celebrating! Neuropathy (nerve pain, tingling, or numbness) is something others in the PBC community do experience, and there are several approaches people explore beyond medication.

Here are some non-medication options that myPBCteam members and healthcare providers have found helpful:

- Compression socks — great that you've already started these, though wearing them during the day is typically more effective than at night for circulation support
- Acupressure — some members find this helps with foot discomfort
- Ice or cold therapy — can help soothe nerve-related foot pain
- Gentle movement — yoga, stretching, and balance exercises can support circulation and nerve health
- Nutrient checks — PBC can affect how your body absorbs certain vitamins (like B12 and D), which can contribute to neuropathy

Seeing a podiatrist is a solid idea — they can assess what's specifically going on with your feet and suggest targeted treatments.

It's always worth discussing nutrient deficiencies with your doctor, as these are common with PBC and very treatable. That could be a good first step before considering any medications.
