Have you been checked for diabetic neuropathy?? I see a neurologist for a few reasons. Rheumatologist for fibro and osteo. I also take cymbalta, soma,robaxin and vit d vit b-12 . He might check your vitamin level also. Good luck and I am sure others will try to help

I am sure if you talk to your doctor he will be sympathetic and probably suggest some rest, only going on my own experience and I don't have all of what you do, I stopped working 9 years ago cos i couldn't cope with both the pain and work, I have never returned to work although about 4 years ago I tried but only lasted 6 weeks, all i am saying is try to work for as long as poss as it is very difficult to get back to work if your symptons are just getting worse. Although most of my days are hideous I really miss work and the interaction with other workers, contributing financially to the house. You have to do what's best for you tho. good luck, hope your symptons ease a little x

I am so genuinely sorry to read of how you are struggling and suffering and I sincerely hope that you can find the answers that you so desperately desire and deserve. I would inform your GP that your medications are not workign for you and ask what else they can give you as there are quite a few out there. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
