For two years now i am diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, secondary to diabetes; and to add to the excitement i have a compartment syndrome in my left hand. I do not have to describe the sleepless night caused by pain. i have tried the most awful medication invented by men, Celexa. I had to discontinue it. yes it took away the pain but it made me sleep 12 hours and i could barely walk the next day as i was dangerously unsteady on my feet and very groggy. i was tried on gabapentin which at time works well but after a day of more than 500 steps, yhe pain is uncontrolable and sleep may come around 4 or 5 a m. i tried accupuncture five times. Every night i experience less pain and on 2 occasions i had no pain at all during yhe evening and night. it was like a miracle. But the effect only lasted one day. It means I would have to have accupuncture seddions daily which is very impracticable. I just wanted to add this to tell people that there is hope. Even now in some hospitals research is done by stimulating directly fibres of the spinal cord and results are hopeful.
