The only thing I found that works for me is taking pregabalin, which is a generic of Lyrica. I take 200mg three times a day which helps a lot, but I still have pain in my feet and legs which is continuing to worsen over time. I’m 78 years old and I’ve had this for at least 10 years.

I’m 73 and am dealing with similar symptoms as you.
I’ve been dealing with this for 10 yrs now, and I’ve been on many of the usual drugs with no relief.
The pain in my feet is terrible, can’t walk because it hurts so much.
Was recently put on pregabalin 50 mg for nerve pain, when I take it I’m so dizzy, and my vision is blurry.
Now I’m starting to take 50 mg at bedtime for 2 weeks, then I’ll take it in the am if I’m ok!
It did seem to help my foot pain but I couldn’t even drive to a doctor appt yesterday.
Had to have my husband drive me.
By dinner time I was better, so I guess the med wore off.
I’m hoping this drug will work for me because I’m losing my patience.
I also have MGUS along with the CIDP.
I know my strength is getting worse in my legs.
