I really don't know how progressive the neuropathy can get, but keep in mind that you can go UP in the medication A LOT MORE!!! You are on a "relatively" low dose. Personally, i don't like that medication cause it causes fluid retention - and it made ME feel "loopy." LOL I'm on Topamax, which does the same thing.

Jeez, I sure hope yours doesn't keep progressing!!! Mine is bad enough and has now spread to my other leg after 25 years. Good grief, I can't imagine having it ALL OVER!!! Bless your heart, I'll keep you in my prayers, for sure! Keep me posted on how you're doing, will you?? Big hugs, Lee
