Default First time

Hello, everyone. After reading some of your stories, I realise that I am not alone in what is happening to me.
I have just been diagnosed with peripheral neuropaty and have had all the tests. While my sugar is a bit high, I don't have diabetes, nor anything else that was tested for.
I have burning feet and tingling up to my knees, waves of weakness that pass down both arms and into my hands (causing me to drop things that I happen to be carrying at the time - very embarrassing!), numbness in my face and terribly restless legs, although I don't know if that is connected.
I know of no one who has even heard of this before and am very pleased to find this forum so I can discuss it with people who don't think I am imaging things.
I've just started taking Lyrica, which is beginning to help with the burning, but is making my job - high school teacher - just that little bit more stressful because it makes me sleepy and dizzy.
Thank you for listening to me whinge.
