Good morning,

I posted a comment a couple of days ago but nobody replied. I was wondering if anyone knows if any common medication or medication type can activate or exacerbate PN symptoms? Please let me know if anyone has any information. Thanks for providing this great Board! I am trying to find something to alleviate my pins and needles now to no avail so far. . . Caleb

If you Google it you will find a list of medications that can exacerbate PN

Hi Caleb @highdesertdweller, Welcome to Connect. Sorry I missed your earlier post. You are not alone in your neuropathy journey. I shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/. I'm sorry to hear that you haven't found much relief yet. I'm glad you found Connect which also started my journey of learning as much as I can about neuropathy and what treatments might be helpful. You are your best advocate and learning as much as you can about neuropathy is key to finding something that will help.
