A little concerned about systemic reactions I think my lips get darker and now they are starting to burn.
I hate to stop using them as they usually help or stop the pins and needles in my feet so I can sleep. I'm careful not to leave them on to long.
I can't seem to find any meds that help me more than they hurt me except the xanax . However my doctor hates xanax. I have some vicodin and ultram but they keep me wide awake, make me real irritable and way to talkative.
I've never had much luck with meds even before the neuropathy started this year.
