I sympathize with all of you my PN companions. I have tried everything from pills to electric stimulation for about ten years of this malevolent disease. Frustration is one of the worst feelings to deal with. Not being able to even walk for more than 10 mins. or so. The burning/cold sensation is the worst. I previously posted an encouraging procedure where hemp cream and ibuprofen before bedtime let me catch some needed sleep yet, that did not last long as the cream only worsened the burning/cold feeling. I am now just taking a 600mg tablet of ibuprofen about 30 min. before bedtime. That at least helps me sleep around 6- sometimes up to 7 hours a night. Can only hope it continues to do so for as long as possible. I also take Tramadol when pain on the back of my thighs is intense. Before I take this pills I haves little food, to hopefully prevent any gastric issues. I hesitate to recommend this as I am by no means a medically trained person and our bodies are all different. At 85 I can only hope that science can find a way to alleviate this stressful malady in the near future to help us all. Good luck to all.

It certainly is as you describe ...malevolent almost like a curse. Would you believe I have continuous tinnitus as well.....both ends. You couldn't make it up. I am a bit younger than you 67 and was a very fit and active person doing 1 mile of swimming 2 or 3 times a week. I walked there and back to. I truly sympathise with your plight. I'm going to see an expert in this field in August. I am a bit concerned it might be autonomic neuropathy you see which would be if great concern. All happened in 2020 pandemic year. I wonder if that had anything to do with it. No tests then and there is no way of knowing either.
