Bluesfan, I have looked through messages to see if we have already messaged so not to repeat myself. I blame the gabapentin for that ;-). What is your other A.I and is it being treated?

Hi Joanna
My AI condition is Primary Addison's Disease (Adrenal Insufficiency) and while there is no cure for it, it is being managed (maintenance dose steroids). The steroids do provide a small analgesic effect sometimes but I'm not taking high enough doses to take away the neuropathy pain.
I have read that neuropathy can be secondary to a number of AI conditions and that even if the primary condition is managed the Neuropathy may not necessarily improve. I think this also happens in many diabetes cases as well.
