How do you deal with unpredictable neuropathy pain? I don’t have any meds for it yet. It hits my feet and calves of my legs.

Hello, @granny73

I am sorry to hear that you've diagnosed with neuropathy. Did you receive your diagnosis from a neurologist? You mention that you have not received any pain medcation 'yet.' Does that mean that your doctor has already submitted a prescription and that you're not simply waiting for that prescription or prescriptions to be available at your local pharmacy or to arrive in the mail? I'm sure it is frustrating to have to wait when the pain you're suffering is here & now.

I have very glad you thought to visit Connect!

Best wishes,
Ray (@ray666)

No pain meds yet, my dr. said my primary doctor will be getting in touch with me about that. My neuropathy makes my toes numb. Balance is fine.

I am wise to side effects of drugs. Last year I was put on a couple of prescriptions after I had a heart attack and the side affects were harsh! Thank you for your input. I will remember your advice.
