However I take Gabapentin and the symptoms are completely gone. This works for me, but it may not work for everyone of course: Your mileage may vary, as we say.
My neuropathies are part of the damage done by my Immune System to my organs/systems, including my moisture glands, ears (moderate deafness), lungs, bladder, and of course the profound PN (I must walk 'badly' with braces) and SFN.
Ain't we got fun?

Hi Elaine,
How long did it take for the gabapentin to take effect? I started it 5 days ago for neuropathy/neuralgia but haven't noticed much improvement yet. I've read that it can take weeks to feel the effects.
Thanks.
