I took a low dose of gapapentin for about three months, but stopped. I wasn't sure it was helping, and the next step would have been upping the dosage. I decided I didn't want to go down that path yet.

I'll take meds if/when things became unbearable, but I'll put it off as long as possible. Meanwhile, I'm learning to be comfortable in my discomfort.

Oh, I should add, though, that I do make use of lidocaine patches when my feet are really bad.
