I have been on Neurontin since 8/08. I am now up to 900 mg at bedtime.
My latest A1C is down to 8.1 from 12.4 in 7/08.
My doctor on Friday prescribed tramadol for the pain as well after having a very very bad night pain wise on Thursday.

Everyone says excercise helps however when I do walk when I come home my ankles are swollen at least twice their normal size and then the next day I stay in bed with my feet elevated.

I also have diabetic nephrology where I spill alot of protein in my urine.

I am considering applying for SSA benefits since my job requires me to stand on my feet all day dealing with the public. Being at home off my feet the pain is so bad at times I am constantly snapping at my children and husband. Then nights cant sleep...
