Thanks Chris. He's doing ok. Had a rough patch where he lowered his gabapentin to 200mg/day and stopped taking the doxepine all together. Even though the dose of doxi that he was taking was so low that it had to be compounded, stopping and lowering these 2 meds was somewhat of a disaster. He's back to taking 600 - 900mg of the Gabapentin and 5mg of the doxipene and while he's still in pain every waking hour—doesn't have pain when asleep—he's doing much better. He liked the MFR that he was having done but the drive (1 hr each way) wasn't worth it. He is sticking with the acupuncture and I work on him almost every day which often puts him right to sleep if it's the evening. Having said all that, he's been very physically active. And for those who might read this and don't know the history, his idiopathic peripheral neuropathy causes burning, itching, tight pain particularly in the feet and the tightness extends to the calves.
Chris, I thought about you the beginning of the year knowing that you were going in for more surgery. How are you doing now? Did the surgery help with the issues you were having other than the neuropathy? Are you still doing the blue light therapy for your neuropathic itch at the dermotologist?
Sending you love and light.
