This one is pretty bad. It started this morning as I was lying on my front in bed checking my phone. The pain point this time is right under the left inner ankle bone. Typically, the initial pain intensity is pretty low, and it slowly builds. This time, the first attack was about a six out of ten, and it has gotten more intense over the past six hours. My entire leg is numb after each attack and the frequency is still increasing. I have taken two Tylenol PM caplets, but they made no difference, and I have been unable to take a nap. Now my entire left foot is numb and experiencing pain in multiple places, albeit not as intense as the main ankle pain point.

Diabetes. The curse that keeps cursing.

It is 12:45 am on Monday, September 18, and the neuropathy attacks are still happening. Luckily, they stopped for about six hours while I drove to LAX to pick up my sister, but resumed when I got home.
