hello im new here also an i have been living with PN for several years.. it drives me crazy at night mostly.. i have trouble wearing shoes.. if i find a pair that dont bother me too much i stick with them.
i have never seen a neuro doc. my pcp has never really said anything about seeing one or if i even need too. i do have a foot doc she is decent..
im really frustrated with not sleeping at night... i sleep in bursts of 3 to 5 hours a day.. when my PN first started i would go days without sleep because of the pain being so intense. i would sit and cry even though i knew it would do nothing i would just cry. if my feet are hot they hurt bad.. the colder my feet are the less they hurt.. i dip my feet in cold water if they hurt too bad.. i know i probably shouldnt do that but im at the point i would do anything to make the pain stop.
im severely overwieght and on insulin from diabetes..
i feel like my life totally sucks and im only 39....
