i dont take lyrica or gabapentin. tried them both but the side effects were too much. I am taking a few vitamins, among them, fish oil, r lipoic acid, benfotiamine, b complex, b12, acetyl l carnitine, and d3.
i used to take long walks of an hour or more with the dog mostly, but i just cant do it anymore. its not a matter of conditioning for me, my legs and arms just get very tired and heavy very fast. as an example today the chain broke on a ceiling fan. i had to put a new one on but could only keep my arms up for about 30 seconds at a time before i had to put them down again to rest. i did try physical therapy but it didnt help. the more i do in a day the worse the pain is.
no one knows how their pn will progress or if it will progress. it could stay the same or even improve. hopefully yours is one that stays the same or progresses very slowly.
