Hi Tessie; I have neuropathy in my hands, feet and ankles, relatively recently diagnosed. I started taking trazodone last night to help me sleep, very low dose. I have been very miserable for quite a while with very little sleep. Then when my neuropathy started I didn’t know what to do . This morning both of my feet had the strangest sensation of just dried out, dehydrated, grainy. I saw somebody else comment about their neuropathy feeling like there was sand on their hands and feet and that it didn’t make any sense. That’s the way that I felt this morning and it made absolutely no sense to me.I’m almost 75 years old, I exercised , stretched and did light weights all through Covid ….and my feet have never felt like that -dried out, crackly and gritty…..
I did call my primary care physician and asked if I should take a second night of the low-dose Trazodone for sleep….considering the impact to my feet and they said yes. I joined this because I was hoping I would find someone who has found a way to deal with neuropathy. I’m trying to stay positive…..
I've had some tingling in the tips of my fingers but I think it's more related to carpal tunnel syndrome which I also have but so far it's not too bad.
