Just complaining about Peripheral Neuropathy

Posted , 3 users are following.

I've had it since 2009.  I just went out to a bar with a friend to watch a fight and left early because the chair was hurting my legs.  I'm approximately ok so long as I stay in bed.  But that's a pretty limiting condition.

    Hello Stephen, Sorry your suffering with Peripheral Neuropathy pain. I also suffer from Nuropathic pain. Are you on any medication for this. I find with mine it's best to move around gently, as if i stay in bed the burning sensation is worse and the bed covers are heavy on my legs. Rest is also important so it's a case of resting and movement combined. Practice mindfulness and distract yourself as much as possible. Unfortunately there is no cure and others cannot understand unless they also suffer. I hope you can find ways of coping. I take Gaberpentin and this gives some relief especially to help with sleep.
