[QUOTE="gennie 24, post: 623189, member: 24644"] [B][I]Hi there, I have been type 2 diagnosed 7 yrs but gp believes I had it for a few yrs without knowing. I first noticed strange feelings in my feet whilst on holiday in Majorca, I felt as though I still had beach flip flops on hours after my shower, I kept looking at my feet to see what I was wearing but my feet were bare (in hotel room): I did not go to my go with this as I didn't think it was necessary, I thought what can I say? That I have funny sensations in my feet. I felt I would be wasting the doctor's time, or it was the weather or my age or I had been working too much overtime. my pains vary a lot both in pain level and feelings. Sometimes it's tingling, sometimes like needles shooting in my toe tips and sometimes burning. Before my diagnosis I would stand in the bath and run the cold tap till water was just above my ankles, if I closed my eyes and lifted a foot out of the water and pop it in then out I couldn't really tell if it was in or out of the water! I was oblivious to the cold temperature of the water. I am prescribed 3 different medications for long term pain relief which make it bearable, but rarely am I pain free.
