I am on 50mg Elavil at bed time. I also have Ambien to help sleep at night if I need it. It seems to only work 25% of the time tho.

My blood sugar when the burning or stabbing is 80-120. Most of the time the burning only happens when something is touching my skin. I tend to wear thin cotton pants now, this helps a lot. The stabbing feeling I get in my legs/hands/feet are harder to deal with because the are rather random.

Currently both of my index fingers feel like they have metal or glass splinters in them. Is this a common feeling as well?

Is lightheadedness when moving ones head have anything to do with Neuropathy? I have been having it a lot lately.
