Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

I have found that taking two pills of an anti-histamine will put you to sleep faster and you should sleep comfortable all night similar to benydrill or similar. The only down side you wake up a little drowsy.

Thank you for your suggestion of an anti-histamine to sleep. I have taken Alka Seltzer plus for years, because, as you know, aspirin is the best anti-nflammatory pain medication. Having migraines, Alka Seltzer plus, was a big help. So I continue to take that. It doesn't make me very sleepy anymore, but in the old days before the pain clinic, it would put me right to sleep. Benedryl I use if I eat nuts...I try to avoid them, but sometimes one or two somehow slip into my mouth. Of course, Benedryl with oxy will increase the effects of oxy on one's body. That I can say is true. Right now my sleep is so dependent on taking something to knock me out. I always think of Tom Petty and how he came home from his 40th Anniversary tour with a broken hip (yes, he was touring in severe pain, what dedication). When he got home and could crash, he took a variety of pain and sleep medications and unfortunately, his 66-year-old body could not process all that. But I digress...and when I get to heaven and met Tom, I will thank him and let him know his death was not in vain. Rock on!!
