I feel just like you about the results, it's good to know that is not some horrible desiese, but not knowing that it is it's even more worrying somehow
Luckily lyrica took my anxiety away, so I'm not worried in emotional sense
Best luck in the world for your appointment!
I've scheduled one for a professor of neurology that suppose to be really good, but he's busy until June
Another recommended guy may be able to see me in 2 weeks time, that's way better!
I have a clue that regular neuros are clueless, you have look for high end specialist
At least it's what I hope
Btw have you ever tried marihuana or any cannabis related thing?
I've used weed recreationally, stopped years ago, but if that was going to help I might just get high if that will make me painless!

Thanks for saying good luck. I think most of these neuropathies aren't a quick fix and it takes time and effort on behalf of the patient, but who knows maybe it will be.
Yeah I haven't smoked for many years, I think it is one of the best treatments for neuropathic pains, at least people with fibro rave about it. Problem is I have a data analysis job so smoking pot probably isn't a good idea.
The other medication that people says works is cymbalta, but I think lyrica is enough for me now otherwise I'll probably feel too out of it. I've been taking omega3 and vitamin d for months now. Something is working a bit anyway, going upstairs is a bit easier now. I learnt is that exercise a sensible amount is a good idea and I've cleaned up my diet recently.
