Hi, I just joined this site after having a particularly bad foot and leg neuropathy experience last night. I think I am totally in the dark about PN, neuropathy etc. after being diagnosed with Diabetes 2 about 16 mos. ago. Since then I am experiencing a lot of the symptoms written about here. To date, I have visited so many different doctors that have either dismissed my concerns or simply said that they don't know. I began taking Lyrica (pregabalin) about 1 year ago and although overall it helps with the pain, I've noticed that my balance and dizziness is worse. I am 76 yrs. old. Of course, when you begin to go down the "rabbit hole" on line, it only frustrates me with an over abundance of information...most which I don't understand or doesn't pertain to me. I just looked at a suggestion about buying a glucose monitor. I will continue to view these discussions. Thanks.
