Gabapentin doesn’t seem to be working for me either. Walking funny and involuntary jerking.

Thank you.
It just seems like there is nothing helpful for Neuropathy.
Even the pain dr. says there is nothing much you can do for it.
They have the stimulators but that is all I see except for Gabapentin & Lyrica.
The PT said they don't treat Neuropathy so what's left?
I think mind set is all you can do . You have to keep busy & do things to keep your mind off of it.
I try & do things sitting down mostly but I do clean the house in stages. One room at a time & I have OCD so everything has to be perfect.
Thank you everybody for tryig to help this helpless sole.
God Bless Genie

The only surface I have been able to let touch my skin is a fur coat I laid on my bed. The fur seems, by its lack of interruptions flowing surface is for the most part almost soothing. When my neuropathy is going full bore, it can seems like knives, but that is more the exception rather than the rule. If you don’t own a fur, check online for used furs. You can buy repurposed fur throws as well. I am having this one made into a throw.
So, I now have a question. I have a tumor growing at the base of my spine. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get relief from the pressure on the nerves there? I have an upcoming appointment with a neurosurgeon. In the meantime, it is killing me and is exponentially worse at night.
Thank you,
