Has your neuropathy progressed? Improved?


I guess this is sort of a mini poll for those who are interested.


I have had neuropathy for about four months. I take 1800 mg. of gabapentin, which seems to work sometimes and other times it doesn't. I also take vicodin which sometimes also helps, depending. My pain ranges from fairly bad to lower level. The type of pain I have is body wide burning, stabbing, cramping, searing and stinging. Only rarely do I feel tingling. It will often come and go in specific areas, but is always going on. I currently have no numbness, balance problems or problems with walking at this time.

I saw a second neurologist recently, took another set of blood tests, and am having my first EMG in the beginning of March. I am also looking into going into pain management.
