Every night when I lie down to sleep I can depend on a rousing outburst of neuropathy: pain in my feet, working up the leg to the knees (numbness that hurts, spots of volcanic bursts of deep pain at the ankles and knees, burning sensations) that make rest impossible. I use an electric mattress pad turned up quite high to literally toast the bottom of my feet; seems as if this competes with the pain and wears it out. The whole process takes about 20 min. and usually results in the pain diminishing. Both the pain, and I, are worn out!
