@fiesty76 I like that call name. Fiesty is good. I am not feeling very fiesty. The pain throughout my body is taking a toll. My brain is fried with pain, especially in my toes , feet and legs. I can feel the progression My neurologist tells me it is the way it is and will not get better It is just managing the symptoms which includes the pain. This all came about as idiopathic because I don;t or didn't have diabetes..Now after almost 5 years of neuropathy my A!C is off. This makes the doctor think I am diabetic or pre diabetic. So did the neuropathy cause that. My quality of life has done a dramatic change.My feet and toes hurt so bad that even a percocet (which I am prescribed) doesn;t do much. I take Gabapentin 600 mg at night I don't see it is helping and then think maybe it would be worse if I didn't take it. Is this the way I have to live waiting to die. ? Sorry friends, I haven't been out of bed long and the pain is kicking my butt and I am feeling sorry for myself. I do normal things one day and suffer so much the next day. I read these posts everyday and I do get hope and encouragement. Need a little extra today. I do have an appointment with the podiatrist next week, for all that is worth. At least get my nails clipped just like an old horse. Sorry I am in a bummer. Love you all.. .
