@larry68 thank you for your response Larry. I looked up the medication. It appears it’s used for a heart conditions. I was wondering how that was affecting your neuropathy. I didn’t see any correlation.

@cleodog I had had a Afib attack and specialist put me on it.Then i couldn't walk,talk or much of anything.Falling down all the time.If you read it one of the side effects are not being able to walk or talk for some people.
You’ll be a lot safer if you walked with a cane with a wide bottom and a walker if your balance is really bad. Neuropathy sucks and there’s nothing you can do about it. What’s baffling is some people with PN have serious pain while others don’t.
It has been my experience, after years of dealing with peripheral neuropathy, that it may not be easily treatable! My Neutologist, my family Doctor, and my Orthopedic Doctor have not been forthcoming in giving me any viable treatments, that help, the pain, numbness, sensations of voltage (buzzing), going down one or more of my limbs. So, after years of questioning the Docs, I don’t even bring it up anymore! I’m at the age where the Docs have backed off treatments, for various ailments. Instead, I get a placating, wellness check - nothing thoroughly investigated or treated, anymore! Having shooting, buzzing like discomfort, especially in my arms and legs, and no answers, or help, or even understanding from medical providers, can be, and is most disheartening, so I empathize with the plight, of many, who suffer from peripheral neuropathy!

2 ReactionsThe burning in my legs at night has been unbearable, but last night I started using 3 pillows under my legs and this helps me sleep.
