I still run on the beach 4 or 5 miles a day. It helps with pain - it distracts me, the beach is new and different every day and there are animals: we have beach foxes here as well as the usual sea gulls, sandpipers, crabs, sometimes we see dolphins, sand-sharks, sea glass, jellyfish, all kinds of stuff. I take 150 mg Lyrica at night and lately 600 gabapentin twice during the day. I tried taking lyrica during the day but it made me sleepy. Laying down and sitting down make my legs/feet worse, I'm getting those 'wasp sting-like' pains in my arms, back, and face now too. Some days it's better and I wonder what I did right but I do the same things and eat the same things every day so I haven't found anything that correlates. Some days are worse and I have to take 1/2 of a Tramadol. I'm still trying every lidocaine and cbd product but having only a few minutes of relief. I asked my Pain Doctor about low-dose naltrexone for Neuropathy - he is looking into it, we'll discuss it again next time. I will also ask him about Shingrix - I don't know what that is but I'll try anything that you guys are trying. This forum is terrific - when any new treatment for neuropathy is invented, I'm sure we will be some of the first to hear about it. Thanks, Peggy
