Hi, All -

Thanks so much for these replies and the good advice - sorry that all of you have to deal with neuropathy in any form. Yet it's quite helpful to read your stories and how you handle your neuropathies.

It's very encouraging to read that one of you is POST-PN, even though it took some years. Wow. How great is that!

Have had to deal cold turkey - couldn't tolerate even low-dose neurontin, let alone Lyrica after just one 75 mg capsule. Pamelor did nothing. Flat-out refused Cymbalta after reading the drug manufacturer's ton of material about it and its possible side effects/contraindications.

Just continue to test one article of former clothing at a time to see if it's become tolerable. One or two things have, so that's progress! The day I can take a shower again without feeling as if hundreds of needles are sticking me, will know that there's a light at the end of this tunnel.
