[QUOTE="TheSparkyPony, post: 119009, member: 24740"] Hi there, just wondering if anyone was in the same boat as me and could offer help or advise! Had diabetes now for ten years (18 now), and in the last year started suffering from numbness in my feet. Did tell consultant at the time but it seemed to have been ignored (something that I'm pulling up on next visit!) and now have subsequent numbness in pretty much both my feet, my right knee and now my right wrist is started tingling/going numb. I realise that I'm quite young to be suffering such symptoms (only 18) and understand that I have contributed vastly to it, by becoming KDA and admitted to hospital when around 15 for about 4 times in one year, but wanted to find out some more info, as follows: - What have you found to ease symptoms? I have been prescribed Amitriptyline and Gabopentin so far. - Does any form of pressure bandage help with wrists? - How does it affect your employment? I currently work in retail and struggle to lift boxes. - How quickly did it progress for you? - What areas did it affect for you? Also, has anyone suffered from any internal neuropathy? i.e the light headedness from going rom a prone position to standing, or digestive issues? Sorry for the essay, my drs have been next to hopeless in giving me ANY kind of info, and instead plugging me with pills! :roll: [/QUOTE]
