I took the gabepentin for a short time. It made me feel drunk. It will help with pain but is not for everyone. I ordered a foot massage hot water . Trying prescription lidocaine. Been taking hydrocodone for years. Anyone try the massager bath, or the 3 in one wraps with heat and massaging?
My PT just got a Bemer mat which is an electromagnetic way of increasing/making more efficient the flow of oxygenated blood through the body. I have only had one treatment but it seems to make a big difference in my level of energy. I don't know if it will lessen the pain and numbness of my neuropathy, and I was told it won't help with my unsteadiness but I've had such low energy - presumably from dealing with pain, etc. - that I am really hopeful that this weekly treatment will help my energy level in the long run. As for the Pregabalin, I think it is the cause for significant lightheadedness at times. I tried Gabapentin but had adverse reactions to it, and Pregabalin has been a good alternative for me.
