Has anyone tried treatment for diabetic neuropathy?

Hi @bobf46. I recently (last month) started Lyrica’s generic, Pregabalin. I am on 150 mg total a day. I am still having a lot of pain especially with the spasms and pain in legs, bottom of feet and toes. It progressed over one year. It wakes me up at night and is excruciating at times. I walk with a cane and don’t get any exercise because of this. My neurologist is going to review my 4 week diary in a week to discuss what we will do with the medicine (go up or down on dose). My rheumatologist has me on steroids low dose to see if it helps my autoimmune arthritis. So, based on if we decide to try me on injectables, its a big decision. So how does the Lyrica relieve your symptoms? Which symptoms are impacted by it most? When the pain is excruciating I can’t do a thing. Massage, stretch, soak. That is it so far. I am looking into other ways to help this. I just found this website and thought I would give you a shout out. Thank you,
Nemo1

Nemo1. I must have a mild case because I was never in any great pain. My symptoms were burning, tingling, and numbness in my feet. Some pain but manageable. I am on the generic too at 150mg x3 daily but honestly only take 2. You probably should ask to increase the dose. Be well and good luck.
