Hi, I remembered you and I also reread your posts from October.

Are you still in SE Asia? When you get back to the US you may want to try medical marijuana, which is less harmful to the body than most painkilling drugs. Are you still on Lyrica and is that still helpful? Or are you just doing Amitriptyline now? I am sorry to hear that your sfpn is advancing so quickly and are starting to have shooting pains in the feet. Like Toni @avmcbellar I believe eliminating sugar (or at least reducing it drastically) is the first and best thing you can do for your daily diet. Sugar makes every health condition worse by far. Strive to maintain good health habits in the 3 main areas: eating, sleeping and exercise, and try to keep your stress level low if you can.

My wife has terrible burning PN pain in her feet (she sometimes says it feels like they have 3rd degree burns) but one saving grace she has is that she usually gets pretty good sleep most nights. Like you, she is hypersensitive to medications of any kind including OTC ones like aspirin and tylenol. but she does get helpful relief from marijuana, which she uses an average of 2-3 times per week for a break from the pain. She does not exercise enough. You are young and (I am sure you know this) you should to try to keep up with your exercise plan, whatever that is for you. It helps maintain good circulation along with many other benefits for your feet and whole body.

Good luck to you! I hope the shooting pains begin to subside. Best, Hank
