Peripherial Neuropathy 7/23/2020

I’m in the middle of a neuropathy attack now. It started near the end of the dialysis session. The pain site is in the sole of my left foot, near the center of the foot. Of course, I can’t seem to do anything to affect it. Neither of the massagers do anything, and even walking did not help. It started as a constant dull pain, but has progressed to an intense stabbing pain that lasts about 5 seconds per attack and varies between 20 seconds to a minute between each stab. I’ve taken four Tylenol pills for a total of 2000 mg of acetaminophen but it hasn’t helped a bit. I’ve also been trying to sleep it off since 11:00 am (it’s now 5:30 pm) but have been unable to fall asleep due to the pain. It doesn’t feel like it’s subsiding so I guess I have to wait it out. Usually these attacks last about 24 hours. This probably means no sleep tonight either. Ugh.
