Hi Liam, was gonna start today but had no pain today , unsure what to do, if they use them for depression also you can get addicted & difficult to get of them, probably try for few days see how they work but so many side effects which could be bad for me especially eyes so unsure whst to do. Thanks for asking. Hope things go well for you at hospital, let us know how you get on, fingers crossed for youHi @maureen5752 - Did you decide to take those Cymbalta Tablets for the Peripheral Neuropathy.
.Mysterious goings-on wth blood sugar. My FBG is always pretty horrid looking, but it is normally running around 6 by lunchtime. Today I started feeling really strange after missing lunch because of a meeting that overran. Started feeling clammy and totally grumpy. My doc told me to test when I get the grumps and rages, so I did and I was 4.8. DN had told me that after years/months of having quite high BG if I get normalish readings I may feel a bit strange. She was right, I felt very strange indeed. Asking all you lovely experts out there, does this get any better?
Yes, I can identify with that. I can't offer any explanation, but I can certainly identify with it. I've just been putting it down to the warmer weather.... Maybe it's just our age, hun...Anyone suffer with getting to sleep then waking hour later all hot & clammy & morning getting up hot, clammy, sticky, & sweaty, Feel like I'm having second menopause only 100 times worse! Any ideas? ( sorry boys) thanks

Good to see/read all the postings on here, just like old times. We had a Sink Hole appeared yesterday in a major (busy) road in York. Just thought I would tell you all this 'useless bit of information'!
Sorry to hear that do hope you feel better soon, I know what sciatica & knee pain is like, been like that since accident when I was 4 but never gets better, pain is pain. Feel for you, ever tried ' deep freeze' cream? Only helps short time but it helps. Take care hope you feel better soonFeeling rubbish tonight - really bad sciatica and my knee has seized up.
@Providence 62 this 4.8 made you feel like you were having a hypo. Don't ignore these symptoms. 4.8 is a low for you. Since you've been running higher.Mysterious goings-on wth blood sugar.

Thanks Maureen. Yes, I've tried cool spray, deep freeze cream, Voltarol gel, Ibuleve, paracetamol, diclofenac and oxycodone quick release. It's numbing the pain, but I still can't walk without two crutches and severe pain. My left knee won't hold me, despite the crutches, so I have to just slide my feet rather than take proper steps.Sorry to hear that do hope you feel better soon, I know what sciatica & knee pain is like, been like that since accident when I was 4 but never gets better, pain is pain.

Good luck with the DN today Eddie!Morning. FBG 7.2 mmol/l. Feel fresher this morning. The CPAP machine is going to take getting used to. Definitely not as tired and feel sort of like a new man lol. Breakfast time. I have my DSN at 10.30am and back to Glagow Gartnavel Hospital Respiratory Unit with my machine for adjustment to see if the flow pressure needs adjusted.
Sending you hugs Debra, hope you got a decent nights sleep xxFeeling rubbish tonight - really bad sciatica and my knee has seized up.
No, I haven't tried those, although I generally feel more comfortable when cold than hot, especially around my feet and legs, as I don't want that darned cellulitis back!Hi @debrasue - Have you tried Heat Pads to ease the pain?
