So after 45 years I do believe the great neuropathy has got me, either that or coeliac disease undiagnosed for years hasn’t helped. Sore toes, prickly skin, tingles, can walk for 10 minutes. Saw a GP today who gave me cream for cracked heels and asked how much Gabapentin I wanted? Really is there no other way? I’ve not had a foot check for over a year like everyone but he said my pulses were ‘fantastic.’ He’s ordered a nerve test. My calves are tight and everything is just hard work. Last time I had all the opiates I could sell in my local park they made a horrible contrast with my epilepsy medication and I didn’t know who I was. Anyone any clues as to what I can do? I had blood tests today to look at the usual B12, iron, Hba1c , thyroid as I’m on thyroxine too. Off to bed feeling a bit miserable as my gorgeous mum in law has cancer and Alzheimer’s and is going to the hospice. Bleurgh. I couldn’t give a stuff who Harry and William stand with at their grandad’s funeral - put a Corgi between them and fight it out. X
