Welcome to Neuro Talk. I too have PN. Has your doctor given you any kind of medication? I ask this, as there is some real help out there for PN. I use a number of different therapies, such as a compounded medication you rub in. this eases the pins and needles. Numbness remains, but it isn't as painful. There are also lidoderm patches, which help with the more painful areas.
Your B12 levels should be checked too. I have taken this for a year now with some other suppliments, and over time this PN has gotten better. Not gone, better.....
Please look up the kind of doctor called a physiatrist. My particular doctor specializes in pain first, but then treats the "whole" person and thinks outside the box. There is a great deal of empathy from her too which goes a long way toward feeling better.
Let me know what you have tried to date. Also if you need a referral, don't hesitate to ask your primary care physician for both a neurologist, and a pain specialist, Maybe a Physiatrist..... Don't give up. There are things that help. Being awake at night is no fun. When I have trouble sleeping, I am given klonopin. I don't take this often. I hope have have said some things that will give you some ideas. Be good to yourself. ginnie
