Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Thankyou @elizm for your reply. In the past, I had been taking zoloft which seems to mask pain perception. I didn't tolerate any other pain meds like lyrica or gabapentin as the effects caused grogginess & STML. I still have some capacity to hold down a job but with these neuropathy symptoms, I'm at my wits end. I will research PEA, & perhaps CBD oil.

My doctor said that Gaba and Lyrica aren't pain killers, they are anti-seizure medications -- they calm the nervous system, then the nervous system stops sending out false pain signals (my feet feel like they are on fire but there is no fire touching them, it's a false pain signal). Pain killers kill any pain any where, Gaba and Lyrica won't do that. The difference is important because pain killers are harder to get and have more side effects than anti-seizure meds.
