I am really struggling at the moment with pain due to complications. I have nerve damage in my arms/shoulders, carpel tunnel, arthritis in shoulder and hips and I have some back issues which makes my leg numb at the top! I also have rota cuff and had laser on my eyes for retinopathy.

My pain especially in my arms is so bad I could cry most days, but my main issue is that by 7pm I’m that tired and in pain I have to go to bed, if I leave the house on an evening I feel like I’m going to be sick with tiredness!

I take pregabalin 300mg twice daily for the pain but it’s just not working. It’s ruining my life. I’ve had type 1 for 22 years but I’m only 38 and just feel like giving up :(

Any advice on this would be appreciated x
 
Hello @jcr0205

Sounds awful, have you seen a specialist ? Also how's your t1 control ?

Giving your post a bump for better visibility too, hopefully someone else can chip in too.
