Increasingly Difficult to Accept Peripheral Neuropathy

My neuropathy is so bad my legs and feet burn all day. Gabapentin has started giving me tremors and didn’t help. Cymbalta is not helping and neither did Lyrica. It is painful to even live a normal life. Anyone else with this problem?

Perhaps this suggestion may help take the edge off. I discovered quite by accident that if I settle into a very comfy chair, elevate my feet, lay my hands at my side, then remain absolutely still, the discomfort ceases and I get a break from it. Eventually I built it into a mindfulness sort of thing in a room with a fine view and lots of sunshine, pausing several times a day for a self-care treat that can (and does) turn into a very nice nap.

Yes. I have the exact same problem.

I am with you Pam, feet burn all day, Gabapentin (2700) doesn't do anything really, Yes, it is impossible to live an normal life. Other pains are magnified. Otherwise I am healthy. I feel like I am being cheated of my later years. Family don't really understand. Did you hear anything about Quatenza (spelling) where they burn the nerve ends in your feet? I am so desperate I might try it. Be well, Jules

Hi, I know what you mean about trying to seem normal while you are standing in the middle of the campfire.!!!!! I am desperately looking for some resolve. Madge

Pam, have you tried any of the electo stimulating therapies?
