Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

My condition only started this past May, two months after my second Moderna shot. I am 75 and never experienced this before. I take 900ng of gabapentin daily and the only supplement I've tried so far is a nerve vitamin combination called N3 which was recommended by a podiatrist which I take daily; however I have no idea if it helps or not since my burning or ice cold symptoms seem to be either ok or terrible based on the day and I just can't seem to figure out why, if it's random, weather, stress, etc. Very frustrating. And it's mostly at night when lying down so sometimes I go to sleep sitting up in a sofa chair with my legs and feet straight down. When I finally fall asleep I don't feel the symptoms even though they exist, usually 2 or 3 AM.

Hello @resage. I'm sorry about the onset of your neuropathy. My husband had both Moderna shots and it took only a couple of weeks for him to get back to his baseline. Not pushing medications because they all come with some sort of side effects but he has had good luck getting a good night's sleep by taking 5mg of Doxipene at night (such a low dose that it has to be compounded). Even at that low dose it still takes a couple of hours to get moving without the fog in the morning. @avmcbellar post is very helpful in explaining the hot or cold symptoms. The people in this group have provided helpful information in learning to manage and try different things to do to help alleviate the symptoms. You can easily spend days reading through the posts.
