Hi Paul, I have had diabetes for 26 years and suffer from neuropathy for at least 10 years. Even with my blood sugars in control, the burning pain in the feet is worsening. Yes, you will feel numbness more and more in the feet. They told me if I lost at least 30 pounds and stopped smoking I would get better. I stopped smoking every winter for at least 3 months. I diet and manage to lose 5 pounds then put them back on. It is a continual struggle. Just this year I found a marvelous web site (canoe... something) that gives very simple and clear info on Meds. That is when I learned that 3 or 4 medications I was on caused a weight gain. I have stopped taking 2 of those against my doctor's advice. I figured that taking 19 pills a day was not the life I had dreamed on when I retired a couple of years ago. The damage to my feet, legs and fingers is there to stay. So, I take Gabapentin for the pain. I had tried Lyrica but too many bad effects like memory loss, fever, ear ache, slurring my words and no balance on my feet. People thought I was drinking too much! Have a good day. Try not to believe everything the doctor tells you. I learned more from the different web sites.
