I am asking help from you all. I have fibromyalgis, peripheral neuropathy and lymphedema. All diagnosed as idiopathic???. I don't agree and very few tests have been done to prove otherwise. I believe idiopathic is used because it is easier. I feel other things are going on. My question is has anyone with neuropathy found that towards morning light you are awakened by the feeling that your entire body, including face, is engulfed by hot water running through every fiber of your body? I cannot go bed to sleep once this process starts. I almost feel like my breathing is difficult. This along with the numbness in my legs and cramps so bad in my legs and now up the entire leg. I do get up and when the cramps slow down I get in the shower. My anxiety is then over the top. I don't know if these episodes are caused by anxiety or the anxiety is caused by the episodes. This has been going on for almost a year. I have been prescribed Lexapro 5 mg at night to help with anxiety. Well, that's not working. Medication before bed is 5 mg lexapro, 50 mg Elavil (for neuropathy pain) and 600 mg gabapentin. I am now taking 10 mg melatonin for sleep along with 1/2 dropper CBD. Daytime meds 40 mg lasix. 37.5 effexor That is 5 meds prescribed and 2 prescribed by me. I also take (almost forgot) percocet as needed during the day. This may be 2 1/2 the entire day and none taken at night. I don't know. I see my doctor tomorrow and she will "I don't believe it is the medication. OK so what is it and what recommendation do you have. I am really concerned because I am not going to bed until 11 pm and waking every hour or two until about 5 am. I don't want to go to bed at night. I don't want the process to start all over. It's not that I don't want to wake up in the morning. It is that I am worn down from the process. I am now having fears of the nightly and morning episodes. My day gets better and I try to forget it happened. I am getting really messed up here. The neuropathy is kicking my butt with difficulty walking and severe numbness. I am not seeing a neurologist and the neuropathy was diagnosed by pain management by doing the nerve conduction test. Thank you.
