Hi Chilliconcarne - Sorry to hear about your pain. I have similar that came out of the blue; neuropathic pain in hands and feet most of the time which regular;y spreads over the whole body. Neuropathic pain includes tingling, stinging, hot and cold, and other unwanted sensation. Yes it can be worse at night and comes and goes due to the activity I do, but is often worse 12-48hrs after overdoing it. Its difficult therefore to identify what causes or to control pain flares.

I take Gabapentin 6*300mg, without side effects. I tried reducing to 5 per day put pain is unmanageable given the activity I want to continue to do! I have had pain management treatment and this has been very helpful. I now work in pain research. Keeping a positive attitude, pacing, planning positive activities and do relaxation exercise does work.

See paintrainer.org or work by flipping pain.

Sorry to hear and sorry for delay in responding - I'm having a set of pain issues. My Dr (GP) prescribed gabapentin with out issue. However I have to say it only works with the pain management in parallel. That is with relaxation exercises, pacing, positive activity planning. It will take a while but things like the relaxation exercises did help me sleep and good sleep works wonders. Give paintrainer.org a go, it can't harm.
