Can the nerve damage be reversed?
by: Patricia F. on Fri, May 29 2009

I have had peripheral neuropathy since about 1992. It was not properly diagnosed until 1997 after I was diagnosed with both types of Lupus It took 5 more years to find a medication that would give me some relief. The first one was Neuronton, but evenutally it was not working. I am now taking Lyrica which has worked well enough to let me sleep at night but still the numbness and tinkling comes on before it is time to take the next dose. I was just wondering if it would do any good to change medications.
