Safeguarding your A1c should be therapy for you. Many have no clue to what originated their Neurapathy. There are many triggers out there, sound like Prozac may have been yours. Trauma from accident was mine. To the question of coping, the old saying is "You can get used to just about anything". The sense of loss will diminish over time. You haven't lost as much as many here, some have to guard against anger. If you find yourself building anger, start checking out the handicapp spaces at Wal-Mart. you won't have to wait too long to see others who have lost more. It sounds like you have caught it early and have already proven willingness to treat your underlying cause. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.

Has NP affected your ability to work?

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.
