hi to all of you
This is just a little comment to join in the discussion regarding pain relief. I have been diagnosed with sensory motor polyneuropathy of long fiber nerves, small fiber neuropathy as well as autonomic neuropathy. I will tell you, the small fiber neuripathy is the worst ever!! The burning is really bad, all over.
I have now tried different kind of meds. The doctor started with Neurontin, I took it for a while, but I too had to increase the doses and it made me dizzy. I started Lyrica, have taken it some months, but have to take so high dose, it also make me dizzy. So no the doctor is trying a combination of Amitryptyline and Lyrica. Regarding Tylenol, yes one has to be very careful. I had to take it sometimes for headache( I can not take NSAS due to blood thinners too) But I am very concious regarding the liver danger.so I try not to take it much. But I do not think it would help for the burning neuropathy pain. I also get a special compound cream with Gabapentin and Lidocaine, but it is very expensive ($50) due to insurance willnot cover it, so now I hear from Mrs D about the MortonEpson lotion and I will try it.
