@cleveland26 I take gabapentin 2 to 3 times a day. 300 mg. It only takes the edge off so walking is tolerable. It does not last long.
I am going to ask for pregabalin next week. It is supposed to be stronger, absorb 90% and last longer.
Quality of life is poor. I hate the medication but my neuropathy is so painful I have too. I stretch everyday to keep muscles healthy. Very very difficult disease. Really bad balance problems.

I hope the pregabalin works out for you. It did not for me. It caused considerable swelling in my feet and a general overall feeling of fatigue, more so even than gabapentin. So, after less than 10 days I stopped taking pregabalin and returned to gabapentin.
But as this forum illustrates, every person is different in the reaction to medications. A treasure? Trash? Sometimes neither, sometimes both!
All the best to you.
