in Start here and say hello!

what can I say. I’m new to this.

I was first diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy on 18/08/2010. I must say that it’s a lot worse than it was back then. I do occasionally get a good nights sleep, but most nights I just get up and lay on the floor, pressing my feet against the wall. Sounds silly I know but it does help. Pain is mostly in my feet. My legs are very weak and my balance is very poor. I take gabapentin, 900mgs 3 times a day and amitripyline In in the evening.

    Hey @1Forest1, welcome to the Scope community 😊 I understand a place like here can be quite new and maybe a bit intimidating at times. Please do ask if you are unsure about anything or want to know about something!

    How are you doing today? Did you manage any sleep last night at all?

    Hello Luv pink, Sandy and Jim. Thank you for asking. Didn’t have a great night. I suppose there are other people who have the same problem, but I never meet anyone who does. I used to go for iving treatment every 4 weeks and I talked to other people in a similar situation. Anyway I’ll shut up about myself now
