Ditto that, except it worked more like four or five months. I'm on Lyrica now with Cymbalta. Is it working? Eh, hard to say. I also have CRPS and it's tough for me to differentiate sometimes which is causing which pain. I mean, the pain itself is very different, but it seems like one makes the other flare up.

I don't know, if you asked me a few weeks ago, I'd have told you that I thought my pain was reasonably under control. Now? Not so much. I unfortunately think it's something I'm just going to have to live with. My worst problem with it is the lack of sleep. I'm a light sleeper and when I'm hurting so bad, I either can't fall asleep, or I wake up when I try to move (if the sheets even touch my leg wrong, it will awaken me).

It stinks, I won't lie. My PN, however, was caused by trauma, not by diabetes, and from what I've heard, it's rather different, so your mileage may vary depending on the cause of your PN.
