I was diagnosed ten years ago. Started with pins and needles/numbness in the hands and feet. Has since travelled up the legs to the groin and up my arms into the shoulders plus lower jaw. I get shooting pains almost like a mini electric shocks that can mainly be in the hands and feet and sometimes in the legs. I take 150mg of pregabalin mornings, 200mg evenings plus 10mg of amitriptalin at night - all of which helps to ease the pain Also take B12. Has anyone experience burning pains particularly when in bed whereby where ever your body touches the mattress there is a burning sensation. Other than the neuropathy I enjoy good health. Gigforgig
