Default neuropathy in a diabetic type 1

Hi my name is Sherri and i havent been on for awhile. I am hoping to see if anyone can help me. I found out 4 to 6 months ago that i have neuropathy. it seems to get better for a day or two when the doctor changes a medicine but it doesnt last. i was on gabapentin 300mg taken 2 pills three times a day. after a month and that wasnt really helping much. i went on lyrica 50mg 3 times a day. now i am on lyrica 150mg 3 times a day. but my feet and ankles hurt so bad and its like i constantly have nails in my feet. so i went to a podiatrist and he put me on a pill called metanx one pill once a day. i also take percoset 5/325 one pill at least 3 or 4 times a day. i have been working up until 2 weeks ago when i begged the doctor to please take me off till my feet feel better. i currently work 10hour days and 50-58 hours a week and dont think i can do my job at the present with how bad my feet hurt. the pain in my legs have really gotten better. the shock feeling is gone most of the time. i was sleeping only 3-4 hours a night and i am sleeping alittle better but i just cant stand my socks and shoes on my feet. anyone have any other suggestions.
thanks for listening.
