Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

@ hosta, Your symptoms sound so much like mine! only it is my right leg that is involved, now beginning in my left. Bad back, had shingles on the right thigh 1 1/2 yr ago, seem to have restless leg on that side which keeps me from ever having a good night's sleep. Balance problems also, so have had some falls which have also landed on that right side. My dr. has prescribed Tramadol and Gabapentin which are supposed to help with the pain, and Requip which is supposed to help with the RLS. The last few nights I have taken more of the drugs, and realize that they create more balance problems. What to do???

@barbarn Ya gotta remember there are thousands of diseases and disorders and accidents that can and do use and control neuropathy. Each one has its own timeline and pattern. In fact, there are almost 2000 known Amyloidosis forms, and each one is different. Even different forms of diabetes 2 have different patterns. And Tramadol and Gabapentin do NOT work for all of them. I have tried many drugs for mine, and none have worked any better for me than generic super strength Tylenol. Well, and some comfort food occasionally.
