Can't take Neurontin. Made me suicidal. So I manage with Tramadol and recently added Mirapex. So my symptoms are well under control for now. Yep, been blessed with PN and apparently some RLS thrown in for good measure.
And yes, we do all we can to reduce our symptoms to levels manageable for us. During the day I'm a 1 or less most of the time. Toward 9:00 or 10:00 PM I escalate to about a 4 or 5 before I take a Tramadol. That's much less than my levels were about a year ago when I first found this wonderful message board.

IN no way shape or form is PN bilateral. My left foot burns and my right foot is merely numb. My left side burns yet feels no external pain and my right side is normal. My right foot toes are all numb. My left foot toes are not as numb. Laminectomies did not help. The source of pain is at the cellular nerve level in the lower back region.
