Recently knocked out of the lime life by neuropathy


by: O.E. on Tue, Jun 26 2007

A few month ago i was told i have neuropathy can’t work can’t sleep, can’t go for a walk. I don’t understand why . I worked all my life and have been very healthy. so this neuropathy has me confused.

I take lyrica twice a day for the pain, sometimes i have to take it 3 times a day, i’m waiting to see if b-12 shots are going to work, after that i’m not sure. I hate this waiting game.

My feet are on fire and my calfs. My hands go to sleep, i drop things. I’m just so upset and confused on why i got neuropathy I’m only 57 and i feel like i have a lot of life still in me. I never get a cold or sick. I never miss work due to being sick, so i’m really confused and upset,
