Hi I'm Rose Terry.  I have Peripheral Neuropathy due to 'side-effect' to antibiotic called LEVAQUIN in the QUINOLONE family...poison as far as I'm concerned.  Took in Mar 07 for pneumonia, started having some pains slowly building until Sept-Oct 07 when all hell broke loose in my feet.  I'm on Lyrica/Cymbalta and sometimes Darvocet for break thru pain.  Lyrica/Cymbalta makes me very sleepy and brain fog but still better than the pain!  I am on many vitamins including CoQ10, ALA and use Bowen Technique for help as well as meditation, Chiropractic, massage, Epson salts soak, music, relaxation, and anything else I can think of. 

 

PN has absolutely changed my life completely so try to always find things I CAN do cause there's so many things I CAN'T do.  I have discovered I have severe sleep apnea so use a Cpap machine and it does help me sleep better, although I can't seem to get myself to bed until 2-3 am every day.

 

Love to share ideas, concerns, please do comment on anything that might help me and I will do the same - we'll get thru this together!
