@iceblue I saw the Neurologist yesterday and he would not even let me tell him about it because it was not a "drug", even though my PCP prescribed it and Dr.Kopsky, a pain Dr., recommended it! I have the same problem as you do. My feet are the main problem but my lower legs are tingling and a bit numb. My hands tingle sometimes at night. There is no pain there so I am going to focus on the feet. According to the average amount of topical applied to patients in the study, the 60 gm should last 30 days for two applications per/day. This will vary with the amount of coverage...Pam

Thanks Pam. Yes - our SFN experiences are almost identical. I have a lot of tingling in my hands at night, but assumed it was related to (diagnosed) arthritis in my neck, but come to think of it, I haven't felt it for..... I've lost track of exactly when, but it has definitely stopped since I started taking the Gabapentin! Interesting! Will have to watch for this.

BTW - day 3 of 300 mg at night, and another day of pain free feet 😀
