@howardm Love your comments and advice, Howard.
Tell me about Metanx, please. I have serious and growing peripheral neuropathy, I think it was working on me for a couple years prior to diabetes, was diagnosed so not caused by diabetes. I'm using MMJ lotion if I need it on hands and feet/legs, always use lotion of some kind at night, take MMJ 1:1 tincture for feet, legs, overall pain, arthritis, anxiety, sleep help....at night before bed. It's a gift~ helps me more than anything to date, plus robaxin for cramping, cymbalta for fibro and anxiety and requip for RLS.....dopamine help.
I'm regularly on the neuropathy site where a delightful man, John Bishop who's been dealing w/neuropathy for many years, has suggestions and insight. May I suggest you ck that site and @johnbishop to discuss Metanix? That could be a great discussion for all of us!
Thanks, Howard. Blessings to you. elizabeth

For some reason I only got your reply a few days ago! I don’t know if you’re still interested, but I’ve taken Metanx (also known as foltanx or generic L-Methyl-B6-B12) since when I first found out I had diabetes, around the year2000. My foot doctor recommended it to me; I believe that’s a big reason why I still have full feelings in my feet, after even several years of high blood sugar (due to medications).
Depending on the insurance you have, you may need to use the GoodRx coupons and go to a different pharmacy; I usually have paid about 30-35 per month when I purchased in 90 day supplies. It is sold with or without a prescription, but I’ve found the prescription route to be less expensive.
Hope that help, and God bless you.

Jeez Liz, are you going for the Guinness book of world records for the most illnesses?
I wonder if your Neuropathy & Fibromyalgia could be a result of undiagnosed Diabetes?
I understand Fibromyalgia is commonly found in people with diabetes, but more so in people with type 1 diabetes and in people with less well-controlled blood glucose levels. Just a thought.
Hang in there,
Jake
