@pusher, By looking for a topic list do you mean a list of the different health groups and the list of discussions under each group? Here's a list of the discussions in the Neuropathy group if that's what you want - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuropathy/. If you are looking for a different group, just scroll all the way to the top and click the Groups link in the top link that says Groups / Neuropathy / Living with Neuropathy - Welcome to the group

Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, got it now, thanks.

Hi my name is Rachel/This is my second message.Sorry need to wait till my son can take my picture.I have had neuropathy about ten years after having fusion and laminectomy on my back.I am 93 years old and a year ago the Orthopedic dr was increased the dosage of Gabapentin after a bulging disc was removed from my lower back.The surgery was successful but a few months later my leg, back and sciatic pain increased .The Orthopedic dr suggested I increase my med to 1600 dose.I had lots of side effects from the Gabapentin .I decided to see a Neurologist after reading some of the commends .I am glad I did see him.He suggested I get blood work to check on my level of Gabapetin and B12 levels in my blood .I am reducing the Gabapentin to 900mg.The dr obtain all my health records and feels my pains are due to Neuropathy but also sciatic nerve. I started taking CBD in liquid form at bed time and divided my Gabapentin with 600 dose at bed time.Not sure the CBD helps .I am sleeping better and reducing gradually the Gabapentin seems to improve my balance and feel less tired during the day.Bought the Bombas slippers but not safe walking on my hard wood floor.Sitting or standing is most painful resting on my sofa is best .I have symptoms during the day and at night in bed. I have adjusted to the symptoms as well as posible but it is not easy.Always glad to hear how others handle the neuropathy pain.Thanks for the group.
