Does anyone with neuropathy have seizures? If so how do you sleep and cope with the pain along with the stress? I have discovered when I do not sleep because of the pain and stress my seizures get worse. I end up injuring myself due to falling. Which happens quite often.
I wake up at 2am every night and can’t get back to sleep. Sometimes I get up and drink hot chocolate and can go back to sleep.

I've moved your posts into one discussion so you can connect.

Also I am allergic to all seizure meds.

Yes, that is the case. Lack of sleep causes seizures. I have Valtoco 10 mgs or Nyzline nasal sprays since I am allergic to all seizure medications. I also have diazepam pills when I can’t get where I can’t sleep. Today is day four of only living on four hours of sleep. There is one other thing that sometimes works and when I wake up at 2 am I replay it
No caffeine after 12:00 pm
No alcohol disturbs sleep
No water after7 pm
(where u will not go to the bathroom at night
No reading electronics
10 mgs extended release melatonin
Hot chocolate has caffeine
I drink a herbal tea mandarin orange bigalow makes me sleepy
or there is a tea called sleepy that’s good
Guardian Angel Meditation

Someone on this website sent it to me. You are probably thinking I am nuts but what it does is take your mind off of your feet because you are focusing on something else.

Have someone rub into feet and put socks on over them I use oversized socks

My problem is weather raining in Texas which makes it worse husbands in Germany and can’t rub the cream into my feet. My neurologist told me to use Valtoco nasal spray tonight to get some sleep where I will not have a seizure it’s one of my rescue meds for seizures. I was in his office today. I don’t like using either one they burn and makes me cry.
