@larry68 thank you for your response Larry. I looked up the medication. It appears it’s used for a heart conditions. I was wondering how that was affecting your neuropathy. I didn’t see any correlation.

You’ll be a lot safer if you walked with a cane with a wide bottom and a walker if your balance is really bad. Neuropathy sucks and there’s nothing you can do about it. What’s baffling is some people with PN have serious pain while others don’t.

The burning in my legs at night has been unbearable, but last night I started using 3 pillows under my legs and this helps me sleep.
