I am still in the process of very active pursuing on finding the cause of my neuropathy. I have had the symptoms last October 2011. My symptoms are not the typical that "starts on the toes and goes upward". My symptoms started in the feet, legs and arms simultaneously. So far, with all the tests I have had, the results came back normal. I will have my skin biopsy end of this month/March 2012.
Anyway, how you are now... Has there been any improvement in your symptoms? I hope so....
What kind of exercise do you do? Since I could not walk now (I used to walk 4-5 miles a day before my neuropathy), I do stationary bicycle. I force myself to do it even my feet and legs are hurting. I wonder what kind of exercise is good for people with neuropathic pain. Have you been on Lyrica since the start?

I am asking because I want to know other's experiences with Lyrica. I am on Gabapentin. It does not relieve my pain completely but it gives me some relief every now and then.

Thank you.
