[QUOTE="lrebecca, post: 714790, member: 47088"] I was diagnosed diabetic 6 years ago at 30 and I presented with neuropathy. Mine came on almost overnight and never left. It has been trial and error and a lot of persistence to get to a point where I can handle the constant pain I have. I found the most useful medication for pain relief has been Lyrica and MR Tramaol. I also take Amitriptyline and am allowed to top up my slow release tramadol with the regular tramadol. For a long time that was helping really well (though at night it's always a struggle to get to sleep) but I have found lately that my pain seems to have worsened. I saw a pain specialist at the hospital who said I was taking everything I could be but the next step would be a nerve blocker, which I really don't want so I left it as is for the time being. I'm sorry you are going through this pain I know how utterly demoralising it can be. I would say that you should think about at least trying different drug combinations because nerve pain, in my experience, is too bad to live with without that help. Once they got the right medication combination for me it gave me peace for the first couple of years. Good luck and I hope you have as pain free a christmas as possible. [/QUOTE]
