hi
Sorry to hear about your experiences but glad you're starting to make progress. For me, getting rid of the arterial symptoms made a huge difference but the neuropathic symptoms are hard. I found working on most meds for them was tough as I felt so tired. Now on duloxetine which my neurologist is using increasingly and it's made a huge difference so worth considering if you too get quite a few side effects. It's only just starting to be prescribed more for neuropathic pain (licensed for diabetics with pain or at higher doses as an anti-depressant).
Hope you continue to improve
