Neuropathy is a roller coaster and it is sooooo frustrating. Sometimes it is so hard to pin point what causes a flair up. But I do know that ice cream does me in big time! I also find, that if I have more than two diet sodas in a day...or as we say in the midwest "pop".....it also appears to play havoc with my feet. I've found Lyrica to work better than neurontin. The only real problem that I have with Lyrica, is the sex life is totally in the toilet! Zero sex drive! I really feel for my wife, but, until they come up with another med that doesn't add 20 pounds to your weight and zap intimacy...I will stay with Lyrica.
