My feet start burning at 2 or 2:30 am. It drives my crazy. I started using magnesium with hemp and that helps. I also wear xx large socks over my feet.
I take 75mg a night. It usually works. If I fall asleep before taking it before bedtime. The next day my neuropathy in my legs hurts 100 worse, and it feels like I go run over by a truck. I have pain all over mu body which I usually don't only in my legs and feet. Then I am low moving and slow reflects for the next 3-4 hours. The worse is the pain in my legs from missing a dose. 100 times worse pain in my legs and feet. For me only burns if I miss a does. When I take it I am pretty good most of the time. I been on this medication about 4-5 years. Most of the time it takes away about 90% of then pain where I can function, if I miss a dose look out my pain is like 100 times worse and it usually takes my like 5 doses to get my pain back to where it was before I missed a dose.
