I keep being asked by Dr what my pain level is. I have numbness, sensitivity to touch along specific leg and foot pathways. It seems like if I don’t have pain, Dr don’t know what to do.

They don't seem to know what to do except offer gabapentin and antidepressants. I found that I had to take 600 mg of gabapentin three times per day just to alleviate the painful burning. I still had tingles, zaps, sharp stabbing pain, and painful cramps in feet. It kept changing, so I really don't know from day to day what to expect. I don't think anything works on the numbness, but people have had high hopes for the pirenzipene study. Haven't heard anything new.
