Stay with it and fight the fight. If you look at some of my previous responses they are pretty elaborate of how I started and what I do to maintain, get better with my neuropathy in my feet and legs although my hands seem to be getting a little worse numb wise at night. I'm on Cymbalta 60kg and it definitely helps. I tried the others and nothing but weight gain and groggy feelings. Try to walk 34 days a week. Go to the gym and like you said I wake up in the morning stretch my hamstrings 3 of 30 seconds each leg and arch my back hold it tight with my legs in the air several minutes 30 seconds at a time. That seems to help. Just stay positive that's all we can do at this point. Good luck.

Hi. I spend an hour each morning in stretching and yoga for my whole body including my feet with idiopathic poly neuropathy since diagnosed in 2012. I was also taking 3600 mg of Gabapentin daily for the last few years. My new neurologist has asked me to switch to Lyrica so I did. I never had problems with Gabapentin , I just didn't enjoy taking 12 pills daily. Now I only take 3 200 mg Lyrica dairy with no noticable change in pain level in my feet. These drugs hide about half of the pain daily depending on how much walking and gym work I do. John
