peripheral neuropathy
"I have suffered with severe diabetic peripheral, proximal and autonomic neuropathy for 7 years. The pain and dysthesias were constant, I could eventually fall asleep for a couple of hours but that was it. I was prescribed Darvocet, Neurontin, Tramadol, Codeine, Cymbalta, none of which worked, not even a little. I had to fight the insurance company for over 7 months to get on Lyrica and when it was finally approved I figured it wouldn't work either... An hour after I took the first dose I was completely pain free. I slept 9 hours the first night and haven't slept less than 7 hours since. I actually have my life back."
