Hi..I am new to this site. I have PN which my dr feels is caused by the fact that I have type 2 diabetes although after reading some of the posts now I am not so sure. I do take a statin for cholesterol and about 3 months ago was switched from one type to another and it seems my pain and tingling became much worse in my feet. I hadn't put that together until I read this site. I was taking Paxil for about 10 years when I decided to ask my dr if I could come off of it which I did. This led to terrible side effects withdrawal. I went through that in the beginning of July and now I have this unbearable condition in my feet. Could it be related to the Paxil also? I am so confused and upset because I will not go back on the Paxil even if that is the cause of my being in some much pain because of the side effect episode needless to say I am afraid of taking anything now. I just know this is getting unbearable and nothing I do ie Tylenol/diabetic cream is helping. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
