I also have sudden onset peripheral neuropathy, includes loss of smell.
-What were your glucose levels, did you get a urinanalysis? -prozac seems to have a low incidence of Neuropathy, but the coincedence of the diagnosis of the diabetes, probably made you more vulnerable to PN. Did your PN start before taking prozac? from several accounts, PN CAUSED by diabetes takes years to accumulate, coming on so suddenly means: it can be anxiety related(temporary), autoimmune disease, drugs, infections. How much of the vit you were taking? |

- Glucose levels were 9 - PN started a couple of weeks after starting Prozac - hopefully my upcoming doctor appointments will tell me more regarding autoimmune disease, drugs, infections. - Interesting about the anxiety. Is this common and how long does the PN usually last after? - if you don't mind me asking what was the cause of your sudden onset of PN? |

Does the Cymbalta/Duloxetine and gabapentin help with the pain or numbness associated with NP? |

[QUOTE=james7;1131240]Everyone is different. Numbness is numbness... It remains numb. I think it helps with the depression. I am not in constant pain. Before taking these meds, I was miserable. I still have painful episodes that require an opiate. I do beginner yoga and walk on the treadmill as much as my body will allow. Try to stay motivated... that has been an ongoing issue for me.

I am on my feet a lot so the numbness and pain is an issue I'm considering taking pain meds that my GP says is an option down the road when we have all of the test results in. What has been your experience with pain meds for NP and are you still able to work and Exersise as you did before. |

I try to walk on the treadmill, but I cannot for longer than 20 min. I do beginner yoga. Stretching exercises.
