Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

@ess77 Thanks for the info. Need to read it for the 3rd time. Lots of good info. Guess I am not so bad off yet. You have a great attitude and that helps me too. Just took the first lyrica cap this morning. Dizzy and sleepy. Sitting here doing some research, closed my eyes for a minute opened them and saw a huge spider on my knee, blinked and it disappeared ! Ready to quit all these pills. Anyhow, hope you staying well. I guess coping is a better word. Going to follow up on the balance info you gave me. Also, where do you live? Sounded like Floridian to me. Keep up the fight, we're here for a good time not a long time! So the good old country song says.

Those country songs are right to the point and the heart!
I live in Jacksonville, a bit north of you I think. You mentioned your friend you visited is in Tampa? Love that place, although I haven't been there for years, so I know it's a lot better now.
Lyrica will take a few days or longer for your body to adjust. I suggest giving it time, see if things improve in a day or so. If not. call the doctor or pharmacist for advice. But, the spider did disappear with a blink! I'd call that a good thing!
Sorry I included so much info in my post. Be sure to share your symptoms with your doctor. It's really important to be open and clear when your talking with him, or he may not be able to help. It all does depend on the reason behind the balance issues. You haven't mentioned what's causing the balance problems, or how serious they are. All that plays into your treatment, etc.
Enjoy your cane....maybe you can refresh it during this down time for you????
Let me know how you're doing.
Blessings, elizabeth
