Getting really out of shape. Just can’t get around without pain. Gabapentin is helping but I try not to take too much because of kidneys.

Hi my doctor told me to be careful with gabapentin for it has for me put me in a negative space so for now I'm on lyrica and my fingers are crossed that it will help I try to keep my compression socks on and that helps me a lot

Ive found a "Band-aid" not a cure but something that takes the edge off the numbness in feet and hands.. Helps me fall asleep more comfortably... Its called "Voltaren Gel" I believe its over the counter now... Used to be prescription. A white and orange tube... Smells good and like I mentioned it takes some of the numbness away.. (Temporally) Try it for urself... Let me know if it works for your.

I smoke and find something you really love doing. For example I'm a Paparazzi consultant and when I feel sad or upset I will pop on and do a live jewelry show and just the distraction of reality for a little bit usually helps
