Not trying to hijack this thread, but I can't figure out how to start a new thread. But it seems like I'm in the same situation as the OP. 49 year old male diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy 1 1/2 years ago. Tons of tests with no cause found. I take Lyrica with no help. I took Gabapentin previously, but again, no help.
I went to a chiropractor last year when I was first diagnosed and he said he could cure it with lasers. That was pure snake oil. So bottom line, what do I do? I've been prescribed Cymbalta previously, but the insurance company doesn't want to give it to me. Should I be on opiates for pain? I'm afraid that will tear up my liver. Man, this is frustrating. Am I looking forward to the next 30-40 years of this? Basically, my life is work, then going home to ice my feet. I don't want to complain to my wife, because it won't do any good, and she wouldn't understand anyway. Any help is appreciated.
