I think doctors are confused by neuropathy for that very reason. They can’t just give us a pill and expect it to to make us better or even help. It seems from what I’ve gathered people with neuropathy vary so widely on what or if they respond positively to any particular med or treatment. I think too it’s helpful to find the right doctor, which I’ve not.

I don’t like to take Gabapentin during the day because I have to write for much of my work and find I can’t concentrate well on it. But, it’s hard to concentrate while in pain too! Today I had to drive five hours round trip. I’m finding driving increasingly difficult with the numbness and tingling…my feet and legs feel like they’ve fallen asleep, but they hurt too. I try to think of @johnbishop, as he still drives with numb feet…so, helps me gain confidence as this is all pretty new to me.
