Endep and trammadol eased a fair bit of the burning when it was bad.

best of luck to you.
Can one have normal fasting glucose and plasma glucose readings but still have prediabetes ?

I had my PN diagnosed as "probably" alcohol related, but after no alcohol for 5 months and progression during that time from slight burning in foot pads to burning soles and heels and then to burning hands as well. I'm not now so convinced alcohol is the culprit and looking for other explanations (re-referral to Neurologist pending).

No problems with B12 by the way - I'm about 1800+.
