Mine came on suddenly after quickly lowering my blood sugar levels back in to the normal range. No symptoms when I was diagnosed. Burning in my feet came on suddenly about 6 weeks after normalizing my levels. That was 7 years ago. It was awful at first, got about 50% better after a month or...

Doing any better with this?

Not much helped a lot early on. It was pretty bad for a few weeks, and then I saw pretty steady improvement for a few weeks. I would say about 50% better in a few weeks following the worst, but improvement was slow from then on. For me, I would have good weeks, followed by bad. Different...

Oh wow, I am sorry to hear you are having to deal with this. I am hoping for the best for you. I wish I had some more helpful advice. Did you say whether you ever gave pain meds a chance?

Sorry to hear you are still struggling with this. For me, it came on suddenly after lowering blood sugar quickly after diagnosis. Really bad burning early on. Slowly got better year after year. A couple of months ago, I would have told you I was about 80 percent back to normal and happy with...
