Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Rabbit 10, I was first diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy about 5 years ago by a neurologist. In the process, it was also determined that I have M-GUS which stable. My feet are numb and tingly with pain caused by especially temperature changes. To minimize any painful tingling at night, I sleep with a fresh pair of socks on my feet. I was started on Gabapintin 300 mg, 3 x per day. It caused restless legs syndrome and I could not sleep at night. I was given Trazadone 50 mg at bed and I sleep very well now. The neuropathy has spread to my hands and have mostly numbness and little sensory feeling with respect to extreme temperatures. For example I can touch something hot like a hot potato from the oven and have a slow response to the temperature and then the pain from the burn goes away within a minute. I am taking 900 mg, 3x per day plus Cymbalta to treat the neuropathy. I pray that each find the right treatment to relieve the pain.

Billh - you may also be interested in connecting with other Connect members who have MGUS in this group discussion
- MGUS http://mayocl.in/2cKG3tv

Was originally diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma because of presence of M-Protein and skull lesions. Downgraded to MGUS when lesions, on second reading, were described as "not consistent with multiple myeloma". Only 20% chance of progression to MM. No other blood abnormalities.
