I suffer from neuropathy when I have exacerbations or get over heated or overly fatigued, but not on a daily basis.

My doc has rx'd lyrica, but the clinical trial doc says no. I can take neurontin for it, but don't want to deal with another med so deal with it. Pain meds help and when it gets real bad, it's usually a sign that I am headed for an exacerbation and then the IVSM calms it down.

It's not a pleasant symptom! It was one of the first ones I had and just call it hypersensitivity. Don't touch me. It mostly affects the back of my thighs and my feet.

I was tested for peripheral neuropathy and tested negative so mine is definitely associated with MS and nerve damage.

As you know Sheena, everyone is different. Good luck with this new symptom and I truly hope you find some relief.

Here's a link to information about Pain on the NMSS website.
