Hi There
This is not stricktly a "diabetic problem" question but as all health issues have a knock on effect thought I would ask and see what your opinions are.
I had shingles 14 months ago and was left with post herpatic neuralgia. Since then I have been on 8X 30/500 co-codamol and 4X600 Gabapentin daily. I am using insulin and metformin for the diabetes. Question is do you think this cocktail will damage my kidneys. I know that diabetics get nerve damage so you might have some information around the painkillers.
