I’ve been reading the comments on neuropathy for the past few months. I have had diabetic peripheral neuropathy for over 15 years. What I don’t see is many comments concerning opioids. I know half the country thinks that opioids are a dirty word but for me they were a godsend that was until I moved to Georgia from Arizona. My PCP in Az prescribed all my prescriptions but in Georgia you have to hunt down a “pain specialist” and the 3 different “specialists” that I’ve had act like they are doing you a big favor by prescribing me maybe 25% of what I was receiving in Az. Just wondering why there isn’t much talk of this on Connect.
