Default Sleep depravation
I have had PN for about 20 years It has progressed in my legs and feet. I have restless leg syndrome (RLS) and pain at night.
My most distrssing efffect of PN is sleep depravation. I have tried every concievable meds for gtting to sleep and staying asleep to no avail. Seldom do i hear members here having that problem so seviere. Any thoughts?

I always take a 150 mg. benfotiamine and a 200 mg. L-theanine before I go to bed to help me relax and sleep well. It seems to do the trick.

I really don't have any sleep problems any more. I don't eat night shade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, or smoke tobacco) and I also rub some epsom lotion on the inside of my arms before turning off the light. I've had pn since 1999 so I do know all about sleepless nights. I think the whole routine of eliminating certain foods, using the benfotiamine and L-theamine, as well as the epsom lotion is working for me.
