My husband and I have Diabetic Neuropathy, he has lost most
sensitivity in his feet while mine are painfully sore! He takes
gabapentin, I take Cymbalta 120 mg once a day.
I don't have thrush or lost feeling in my feet but suffer terribly from dry mouth and profuse sweating often at the mostembarrassing times, the burning feet plus some other side effects from the Cymbalta. So I'm thinking I'd like to change my medication.
I've never found an answer to the foot pain, I even put foam
under my feet to use the elliptical trainer, lasted 2 mins. I finally
gave the trainer to my son.
If someone has any answers I too would love to hear them. I
remember hearing about all the problems Diabetes can cause.
Until you have any you just can't understand what it does to
your life.
