if you consider takeing the medication just realize a lot of doctors will push up the dosage the higher the dosage the more likely for kidney failure. this is not a long term medication but doctors like to make it long term

Hello @bethmartin150 -- Welcome to Connect. Thank you for joining in the discussion. Are you able to share a little more about your diagnosis and what you find that helps you?

I also have neuropathy. My diagnosis is idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. I shared my story and what helps me in a post earlier on Connect here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-dealing-with-peripheral-neuropathy/?pg=42#comment-65985

@newzbug, I think it's great that you are still trying to stay active even when you are having some pain. I think movement helps more than it hurts. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some good information on exercises and therapy here:

They also have a fairly comprehensive list of Peripheral Neuropathy Pain Management & Treatments here:

Hoping all my Connect PN cyber friends are having a pain free day.
